# Dates and Timezone

{% hint style="warning" %}
**This documentation site is deprecated. Please visit the control panel at** [**https://monitorss.xyz** ](https://monitorss.xyz)**for all up-to-date functionality**
{% endhint %}

Various date settings can be customized to tailor the `{date}` placeholder to show what you want. Date settings are server-wide, so they cannot be changed to be different for each feed. Use the `date` command to customize date settings.

## Timezone

Valid timezones are found at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones> in the "TZ database name" column .

#### Format

{% code title="Feed" %}

```javascript
{
    "timezone": "UTC"
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Date Format

Format structure information is found at <https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/>.

#### Format

{% code title="Feed" %}

```javascript
{
    "datFormat": "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a"
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Date Language

Date languages must first be specified in `config.feeds.dateLanguageList` before they are accessible via commands. This is to avoid loading in all the possible languages when most of them are not needed.

#### Format

{% code title="Feed" %}

```javascript
{
    "dateLanguage": "UTC"
}
```

{% endcode %}
