### 12.3 Central Access
- The central UI can **query site event logs remotely**, following the same pattern as parked message management — central requests data from the site over Akka.NET remoting.
## 13. General Conventions
### 13.1 Timestamps
- All timestamps throughout the system are stored, transmitted, and processed in **UTC**.
- This applies to: attribute value timestamps, alarm state change timestamps, audit log entries, event log entries, deployment records, health reports, store-and-forward message timestamps, and all inter-node messages.
- Local time conversion for display is a **Central UI concern only** — no other component performs timezone conversion.
