This will create a feature request which anybody can view and comment on. Please describe your requested enhancement. Good feature requests will solve common problems or enable new use cases.

What you would like to accomplish:

When using StackDriver, I cannot choose what timezone I want to display my datetimes in. As such, it defaults to what my default is. This creates a great deal of confusion when I am using other products, or looking directly at my logs and seeing everything in UTC.

How this might work:

Be able to either select a toggle which would temporarily allow all of my datetimes in browser to display as UTC, or better be able to configure my preferences to choose what timezone I want to use sitewide.

If applicable, reasons why alternative solutions are not sufficient:

I'm mentally adding/subtracting hours from your product to correlate up with everything else.

Other information (workarounds you have tried, documentation consulted, etc):

Mental math.

This is not only useful for IP addresses, but also for many other resources. I understand that names are currently used as identifiers, so this request is probably not trivial to implement. Maybe distinguishing between a (numeric, automatically generated) identifier and a (textual) label is the way to go?
