Question: I am monitoring application logs in Cloud Watch using custom metrics. I get those logs in UTC in Cloud Watch Logs. I work from India but I use the Sydney region because that is my client location. 

As far as I know, there is a possibility of getting them either in UTC or our local time.When I select my local time, it shows according to Indian Standard Time.

Is there any possibility of getting those logs according to Sydney Timings? Please suggest.

Answer: 
It would appear that CloudWatch Logs is using the timezone configured in the web browser / computer.

For example, I accessed some CloudWatch Logs in Sydney (UTC+11) while I was in the Perth timezone (UTC+8), and the "Local Timezone" showed as Perth time.

So, please check the Regional Settings / Timezone of your computer and see which timezone it is configured to use.
You can add a region setting into your local aws config which should be [userHome].aws\config:

```
[default]
region = us-east-1 
# please change to your region

```
