Managed Prometheus scraping in Aks has timestamp error

[wiktork]

1. Enable Managed Prometheus integration in an Aks Cluster.
2. Follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/prometheus-metrics-scrape-configuration#configmaps to create a pod level scraper against dotnet-monitor's /metrics endpoint.
3. Check the prometheus targets using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/prometheus-metrics-troubleshoot#prometheus-interface

Notice that the dotnet-monitor target has the following error:

• inconsistent timestamps on metric points for metric

Note that the error repros with a 30s or 1m scraping interval and a 5-second metrics interval.

Workaround: Configure Metrics__Count to be 1.

Having same issue. I had to set Metrics__Count to 1 and scrape interval to 5s
