A user is checking the CloudWatch metrics from the AWS console. The user notices that the CloudWatch data is coming in UTC. The user wants to convert the data to a local time zone. How can the user perform this?

A. In the CloudWatch dashboard the user should set the local time zone so that CloudWatch shows the data only in the local time zone
B. In the CloudWatch console select the local time zone under the Time Range tab to view the data as per the local timezone
C. The CloudWatch data is always in UTC; the user has to manually convert the data
D. The user should have send the local time zone while uploading the data so that CloudWatch will show the data only in the local time zone

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation: If the user is viewing the data inside the CloudWatch console, the console provides options to filter values either using the relative period, such as days/hours or using the Absolute tab where the user can provide data with a specific date and time. The console also provides the option to search using the local time zone under the time range caption in the console because the time range tab allows the user to change the time zone.
