[receiver/hostmetrics] Set process metrics start time to process create time

Open hsmatulis opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Description: The start time of process metrics is currently set to the boot time of the system. This means that if a user repeatedly runs the same command, eventually the user will get two processes with the same PID and command, with the same start time (the system boot time). This makes the two data points indistinguishable and creates an association where there is none.
