Time Zone
-=========
+#########
-To set the system time zone type:
+Time Zone setting is very important as e.g all your logfile entries will be
+based on the configured zone. Without proper time zone configuration it will
+be very difficult to compare logfiles from different systems.

+.. cfgcmd:: set system time-zone '<timezone>'
- [edit]
- vyos@vyos# set system time-zone [time-zone] \ No newline at end of file
+ Specify the systems `<timezone>` as the Region/Location that best defines
+ your location. For example, specifying US/Pacific sets the time zone to US
+ Pacific time.
+
+ Command completion can be used to list available time zones. The adjustment
+ for daylight time will take place automatically based on the time of year. \ No newline at end of file
