For the timestamps, are you just looking at just seconds since the 
epoch, milliseconds, nanoseconds? Is the timestamp going to just be a 
simple numeric value that is passed (eg we can only ever pass 
milliseconds since epoch) or something slightly more complex which 
includes the resolution type?

And I assume that the machines internal clock being properly set and 
periodically synchronized is outside of the scope of what Hawkular wants 
to do.
