Why are my timestamps off and how can I correct them?

Josh Toft is experiencing timestamp discrepancies in his data. Despite setting the timezone to utc, the timestamps are still incorrect. Eric pointed out that the difference between timestamps is around 25.5 hours, indicating it may not be a timezone issue. Josh later mentions that the issue was due to a bug in the devices sending data via nats, which was addressed with Juniper. How can timestamp discrepancies like this be corrected?

  • Check the source of the data to ensure it is providing timestamps correctly.
  • Verify the timezone settings on the data source and the database.
  • Investigate for any bugs or issues in the devices or systems sending the data.
  • Coordinate with the relevant parties, such as Juniper in this case, to address and resolve any upstream issues causing timestamp discrepancies.
