Hi
I am trying to setup a watcher with a daily schedule trigger.
Is it possible to set a timezone for the trigger ?
This [page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/watcher/current/trigger.html#trigger-schedule) states that times are specified in UTC time, but is also warning against daylight saving time changes, which seems contradictory.

Hey,
right now there is no way to specify a time zone for a trigger, but it sounds like a useful idea to me. Regarding the documentation, I will check why that paragraph about DST has been added.

@spinscale, Is this available now in v5.0 or above?

Hey,
sorry, you still have to specify everything in UTC for now.
