Metrics: Fix timestamps, they were not epoch
Library documentation [0] says this about monotonic(): The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of two calls is valid. Switching to time(). [0] https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html Change-Id: Ia7ef8d89119f7dc72619cac44b213611163ff054 Signed-off-by: Vratko Polak <vrpolak@cisco.com>
