[tor-dev] onionoo overload_general_timestamp (prop 328)

[nusenu]

Hi,

in onionoo all timestamps used to be in the format
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss

Proposal 328 has timestamps in this same format
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/main/proposals/328-relay-overload-report.md

The newly added prop328 fields in oninoo appear to break with that convention
https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#details_relay_overload_general_timestamp

Here is an example for an onionoo overload_general_timestamp which appears
to be at millisecond granularity (the source has a granularity of an hour):
1636038000000

Was there a particular motivation for this format change and granularity?
And what do you think about changing it to use the YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
format for consistency and having a direct human readable format here as well?

related:
Karsten used to maintain onionoo protocol documentation/changelog and versions:
https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#versions
Is that and the 'version' field in onionoo no longer maintained?
(since it didn't change with the new fields)


kind regards,
nusenu
