# Selecting the time zone for log browsing

The SMC and engines use universal time (UTC) internally. The times in the Logs view are changed to your selected time zone as they are displayed.

By default, this time zone is the local time zone of the computer you are using. Changing the time zone does not affect the actual time stamps of the log entries.

If the times in the log entries seem incorrect, verify that the time and time zone are set correctly in your operating system, on the Management Server, and on all Log Servers.
