Parameters

offset

({{< req >}}) Fixed duration for the location offset. This duration is the offset from UTC.

Examples

• Return a fixed location record
• Set the location option using a fixed location

Return a fixed location record

import "timezone"

timezone.fixed(offset: -8h)// Returns {offset: -8h, zone: "UTC"}

Set the location option using a fixed location

import "timezone"

// This results in midnight at 00:00:00-08:00 on any day.
option location = timezone.fixed(offset: -8h)

[!Note] The location option only affects boundaries used for windowing, specifically around time shifts like daylight savings. It does not change timestamps in the _time column, which are always UTC.
