OK, I found out solution (or where is the problem). From some old old post from [Carl.Gould] [Gateway Timezone - #4 by Carl.Gould](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/gateway-timezone/6667/4) in “ignition.conf” file time zone can be set (as predefine). After commenting the line with the time zone in the ignition.config my gateway finally reading host OS time. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/e/6e8a67f520a60194a93edfec02e6029ea01f76b3.png). I never change this file before, never add this default time so looks like ignition comes like that. It is a pity that it is not mentioned anywhere in the manual.
