If this is the first time that you have launched the dashboard you are asked to set your time zone and locale. Choose the appropriate values from the drop-down list boxes. Setting the time zone ensures that you have an accurate time reference for any notifications from the MySQL Enterprise Advisors.
It is especially important that the time zone be set correctly as this may also affect the way the graphs display. For this reason, also ensure that the time reported by the operating system is correct. To change the time zone or locale see Section 5.2, “User Preferences”.
The locale chosen determines the user's default language when logging in to the Dashboard. Note that this will override the default browser settings whenever this specific user logs in.
After specifying your time zone and locale, the dashboard opens
on the Monitor
page. For a detailed
examination of the Monitor
Screen see,
Chapter 3, MySQL Enterprise Dashboard.
