clock offset

Hello,

I am having trouble because I cannot change the following virtual machine setting from the WebUI:

<clock offset='utc'>

While this is fine for Linux, I would like to change it to "localtime" or similar for Windows. Even though the guest synchronizes time via NTP, I feel that having a time offset upon boot makes logs harder to read. Also, while other KVM-based virtualization platforms should allow this to be changed, VME does not allow it from the WebUI, and I am struggling because even if I modify it directly using virsh edit, there is no guarantee that the setting will be preserved.

Am I the only one experiencing this...?

*Apologies if anything is unclear due to machine translation.

Re: clock offset

This is already in the process of being looked at by our engineering teams. We still need to scope it and get it in our roadmap, please be patient.

Can you provide any insights on other platforms that allow it?

Thank you for checking.
I hope this will also be supported in VME.
