+# Metrics dashboard settings
+
+You can configure your [Monitoring dashboard](../integrations/prometheus.md) to
+display the time zone of your choice, and the links of your choice.

+time zone, but you can display dates and times in UTC format. To change the
+time zone:
+
+1. Navigate to **{settings}** **Settings > Operations**, and scroll to
+   **Metrics Dashboard**.
+1. In the **Dashboard timezone** select box, select *User's local timezone*
+   or *UTC*:

+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/57171) in GitLab 12.0.

+existing external dashboards:
+
+1. Navigate to **{settings}** **Settings > Operations**, and scroll to
+   **Metrics Dashboard**.
