Description

The metrics IDB and generic IDB viewers currently just show all timestamps in the user's timezone. This can be confusing when cross referencing events in the metrics with logs.

We should:

  • Instantiate the date objects with the proper timezone according to the user's preference
  • Add a label of some sort on the metrics view to indicate the timezone being used

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for where timestamps are formatted in the metrics IDB and generic IDB viewer code, and update them to respect user timezone preferences. Also find where to add a label indicating the timezone.
