I'm trying to use curl to write datapoints into to influxdb and then display with grafana.

The following successfully writes to influxdb, but the time is in UTC

# curl -i -XPOST "http://localhost:8086/write?db=db_fio" --data-binary "test result=22"
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Request-Id: a333902d-7c69-11e5-802d-000000000000 X-Influxdb-Version: 0.9.4.1 Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2015 05:14:45 GMT

# date
Mon Oct 26 22:17:40 PDT 2015

When I try to display the datapoints in grafana I can not as they are in the future for my timezone (PDT), even thought both services are running on the same server.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get grafana and influxdb to be on the same time?
