+Time zone requirements
+----------------------
+
+As of CloudStack 4.14,  you must explicitly configure time zone either in the MySQL server or JDBC driver (db.properties).
+In previous CloudStack versions, UTC time zone was assumed by default (all event's have UTC time stamps), so
+the same UTC time zone should now be explicitly configured.
+
+You can do this by editing the /etc/cloudstack/management/db.properties file and adding "serverTimezone=UTC"
+to the "db.cloud.url.params=" and "db.usage.url.params=" lines.  Example lines, from a clean 4.14 installation, are given below:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+   db.cloud.url.params=prepStmtCacheSize=517&cachePrepStmts=true&sessionVariables=sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION'&serverTimezone=UTC
+   db.usage.url.params=serverTimezone=UTC
+
+If you want time stamps in DB to use a different time zone, please make sure to test this thoroughly in test environment.
