As Dan said, the system time for servers across timezones is usually
stored in GMT. Individual users can usually set their timezone and
thus get the 'correct' time when on the box.
It's absolutely essential that the HQ server and agent have the same
concept of time, otherwise you'd have agents reporting data for the
future (or in the past), and confuse the alerting subsystem.
