CB Protection: What is the origin of the Date and Time stamp in a software approval requests email?

Products

• Carbon Black App Control (formerly Cb Protection)

Issue/Introduction

What mechanism provides the Date and Time stamp for software approval requests/emails?

Environment

• CB Protection: All versions

Resolution

Software approval request email Date and Time stamps are generated from the database external events as UTC format.

Additional Information

• Software approval requests reflect UTC time on the endpoint the request was generated from.
• Unlike event times shown in the console, timestamps for external events are shown as UTC time.
• If the CB Protection server is using a time format other than UTC the server and request times will not match.
