Description

Currently our CSV files are a custom format:

TIMESTAMP,CPU_USAGE_ACTUAL
2023.04.02-00:09:00:000,7.2
2023.04.02-00:10:00:000,7.04
2023.04.02-00:11:00:000,6.88

We should try to use the Open Telemetry format for consistency. Ex: timestamp as uint64.

No file, test, or entry point is named. Read the CSV example and linked OpenTelemetry documentation first, then locate the code that produces these telemetry files. Done requires an agreed OpenTelemetry-compatible schema, including the timestamp representation, and consistent output.
