If you use Prometheus, Grafana wants metrics in Milliseconds.
For example : process_start_time_seconds * 1000
Then you can put your metrics in Date Format.

@marefr Yes, sorry, I was wrong and thought it was a column from a metric label, but it turn out this is indeed the value.
JIC, what if it would have been a label and not the value itself?

Hi, I want to show uptime of my container on grafana, for that I have used something like
(( container_start_time*1000 )) and it is working absolutely fine. My problem is, as soon as this container is down, grafana is showing 63 years/122 years for this metrics.
I am using prometheus, cadvisor and grafana.
Any Help..!!

Putting Date and Time on a dashboard seems pretty fundamental. How do I do that? I used a singlestat to get Time of last point, of some arbitrary metric, which returns it in some non human readable format. I select YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss for Unit, which converts it to just time. I assume it is because it is so recent? Why would Grafana make that kind of decision. If I wanted just time, there should be a HH:mm:ss selection! This thread goes back and forth I never see a definitive answer yet it is closed.

Using 6.4.1.

Hi .i solved this problem.

HUAWEI-ENTITY-EXTENT-MIB::hwEntityManufacturedDate.67108873 = STRING: 2018-11-19,0:0:0.0

HELP hwEntityManufacturedDate This object indicates the manufacturing date of an entity.

The verification obtained by snmp is not accurate, let's correct it.

Thanks.

In the process, I've learned that:
1) I need to know my config at Collector creation time; I can't create
a stub Collector and have it read the config - That way leads to
panics that I don't understand /shrug
2) Prometheus will take the timestamp (a simple in), *force* me to
cast it to a float64, and then display it in scientific notation
3) Grafana can and will handle this stupidity, but not before adding
its own: it assumes timestamps are in milliseconds, so I have to take
my field/value, multiply it by 1000, and then select a Date type, per
a whole bunch of threads where people want to do exactly that,
e.g. grafana/grafana#6297
