# Terminal variables

> Customize gateway terminal color and time zone.

## GATEWAY\_TERMINAL\_NO\_COLOR

Determines whether the console outputs and logs display in color.

### Environment Variable

`GATEWAY_TERMINAL_NO_COLOR`

### File

**Section:** `terminal`

**Key:** `no_color`

### Default

`false`

---

## GATEWAY\_TERMINAL\_TIMESTAMP\_TIMEZONE

Sets the time zone for timestamps displayed in gateway terminal outputs such as when you run services. For example:

```bash
iagctl run ansible-playbook hello-world

Start Time:   2024-05-03T10:35:44-05:00
End Time:     2024-05-03T10:35:46-05:00
Elapsed Time: 2.276147s
```

Timezones are shown in UTC by default. When you set this to `local`, the gateway uses your machine's timezone. You can also set a timezone (`tz`) identifier such as `America/New_York`.

### Environment Variable

`GATEWAY_TERMINAL_TIMESTAMP_TIMEZONE`

### File

**Section:** `terminal`

**Key:** `timestamp_timezone`

### Default

`utc`

### Timezone Values

`["utc", "local", ...any tz identifier]`
