I am running FireSight version 6.2, the FireSight take the time from NTP.
We are in Egypt, we have the time changing each summer one hour to match the UTC time, but this summer the time has not been changed, hence I have the time is one hour after the real time although the time in the NTP server is correct and the other devices that take the time from the NTP server have a correct time.
Also be informed that when I set the time manually the time also increase by one hour, I think the reason for this is that the time zone is set to Cairo.
How I can configure the FireSight to have the correct time?

When the timezone is set to "Cairo" it's just shorthand for UTC+2 with seasonal adjustment for DST. Since you all are not observing DST you will need to change the timezone to one that gives you a correct time.
Note timezone is only for user interface display purposes. The system generally stores events in UTC.

Hello Marvin
Thank you for your support.
when I change the time zone to another city that is UTC+2 like Harare I receive time synchronization critical health alerts because the time synchronization mismatch between the Firepower and the FireSight although I configured the Firepower to take the time Via NTP from Management Center under devices >platform settings >Time synchronization.
