The time interval to which the data point applies. For GAUGE metrics,
the start time is optional, but if it is supplied, it must equal the
end time. For DELTA metrics, the start
and end time should specify a non-zero interval, with subsequent points
specifying contiguous and non-overlapping intervals. For CUMULATIVE
metrics, the start and end time should specify a non-zero interval, with
subsequent points specifying the same start time and increasing end times,
until an event resets the cumulative value to zero and sets a new start
time for the following points.
