This page covers two per-user dashboard preferences: auto-logoff (session timeout on inactivity) and display timezone.
Both settings are stored in your browser’s local storage. They apply per user, per device — they do not roam across browsers and do not affect other users in your organization.

Auto-logoff

Open Settings → Session timeout (/dashboard/settings/session-timeout). The card is titled Auto-Logoff. Help text: “Automatically log out after a period of inactivity to protect your account.”

Controls

FieldNotes
Enable auto-logoffToggle. Default off.
Timeout durationDropdown shown when the toggle is on. Options: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, 24 hours.

What triggers a timeout

Any mouse movement, keystroke, or scroll resets the inactivity timer. When the timer runs out, you’re logged out automatically.

Warning dialog

Two minutes before logout, a dialog appears:
  • Message: “You will be automatically logged out in {MM:SS} due to inactivity.”
  • Stay Logged In — resets the timer.
  • Log Out Now — ends the session immediately.

Display timezone

Open Settings → Timezone (/dashboard/settings/timezone). The card is titled Display Timezone. Help text: “Choose the timezone used to render timestamps across logs, traces, analytics, and audit views. API queries always use UTC.”

What it affects

Timestamps shown in:
  • Logs (/dashboard/monitoring/logs)
  • Traces (/dashboard/monitoring/traces)
  • MCP logs (/dashboard/monitoring/logs/mcp)
  • Analytics and usage charts
  • Audit log (/dashboard/settings/audit-log)
API queries and stored data always use UTC. The timezone setting is presentation-only — it re-renders timestamps but does not change what is queried or recorded.

Controls

  • Dropdown with System default (detected timezone) at the top plus a curated list of common timezones (UTC, major US, EU, APAC, etc.).
  • If your system timezone isn’t in the curated list, it’s still shown as the system-default option.
  • A preview line renders the current time in the selected timezone with its abbreviation, e.g. 2026-04-17 14:23:45 (EDT).
  • Default: system timezone (resolved via the browser’s Intl.DateTimeFormat() API).

Access

No role gating — any signed-in user can change their own auto-logoff and timezone. Neither setting is visible to admins or coworkers.
