# Format dashboard timestamps and time zones

**[ngrok Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/ngrok)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Ngrok now lets users customize timestamp timezone and format across its dashboard, including the Traffic Inspector, via the User Settings page. Users can choose local timezone or UTC, pick a date/time format, or define a custom one. Timestamps were also added to the agent console UI to help distinguish repeat requests to the same endpoint.

## Questions this post answers

### How do I change the timezone shown for timestamps in the ngrok dashboard?

Open the User Settings page in the ngrok dashboard, accessible from the dropdown menu next to the account name. From there, choose between local timezone or UTC, select a date and time format such as month-day-year or day-month-year, or define a fully custom format. This applies across the dashboard, including the Traffic Inspector.

_Developers tuning their debugging workflow can track tool updates like this on daily.dev._

### Does the ngrok agent console show timestamps for repeated requests to the same endpoint?

Yes, timestamps were added to the ngrok agent console UI so requests to the same endpoint with the same HTTP method can be distinguished from one another. This addressed a frequently requested issue from ngrok's community feedback repository migrated from the original ngrok v1 repo.

_Anyone debugging repeated API calls can follow tooling changes like this via daily.dev._
