Profiles support multiple database connections within a single installation of the web reports. By default, only one profile is setup. Multiple profiles are useful in a variety of scenarios:
•Switching between a primary and archival database, or between multiple databases
•Switching between databases of different customers ("multi-tenancy")
In general, a profile sets the language, database connection properties as well as the email settings (which are used primarily for jobs).

When Access Control is enabled, users can be restricted to one or more profiles. |
You can switch between profiles by clicking the profile name ("EVENTSENTRY" by default) on the top left screen of the web reports as shown below:
Profile Settings
Default Profile
This is the profile which will be loaded by default when multiple profiles are present
UTC
This setting needs to match the setting in the "Global Options" of the management console. When agents write data in the UTC date/time format, the web reports display all timestamps in the local timezone, as configured under Settings.
