Timezones are west of Greenwich. If a zone is east (as Amsterdam is),
the difference thus is negative. You add an hour, and specify -1.
It looks like it is not able to adjust the extra hour as Amsterdam is now
(with the rest of Europe) on summertime. If I only say
TimeZone[device]:Amsterdam, it will display the time one hour off. However,
if I say TimeZone[device]:UTC-2 the GRAPH with display the time correctly.
BUT: The text above the graph saying "The statistics were last updated......
" still refers to the time where the MRTG server is located and just adds
"UTC-2" behind.
I cannot comment on timezone issues on windows; not enough experience.
One hunch though: According to
http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-reference.en.html you can set
'pngdate'. See if this is the correct time. If it is, mrtg is not
able to set a timezone for its own process, but can set a timezone
for its children. If so: try a batch file, setting the correct timezone,
and then calling mrtg (without a timezone parameter in its config).
Do you know how I can do this?
I also have some doubt about that "-2". Are you expected to change
this parameter yourself whenever daylight saving changes?
I agree with you on this one, but I don't know how to get it the right way.

Thanks.
