Webhookevent receiver timestamp not set

What happened?

Description

We export minio audit logs to an opentelemetry webhook_event_receiver, but no timestamp is set anywhere in the resulting logs. Clickhouse uses the timestamp to calculate the TTL of the log entries. The TTL expires immediately after the log has entered the system

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure a webhook event receiver in opentelemetry
2. Configure for example minio auditing to send events to the local webhook event receiver: https://min.io/docs/minio/windows/operations/monitoring/minio-logging.html
3. Export Log the file to a file and find no timestamp in the log entry
4. Export the log to clickhouse and find that the timestamp is set to 1-1-1970

Expected Result

The expected result would be that a timestamp is set for at least the moment of receiving the event or maybe grab it from the minio logs itself (schema at https://min.io/docs/minio/windows/operations/monitoring/minio-logging.html#audit-log-structure) or some way to point the webhookeventreceiver where to get it's timestamp from.

Actual Result

No timestamp is set for a given log entry. Clickhouse for example therefor removes all logs after the TTL has expired (which is pretty much immediately)

Hey thanks for the issue! I think that there should be a timestamp set at the log level when the receiver gets an event (PR to follow). I would like to point out though that this value will have a different meaning than the time value in the event's payload.

[sdejong629]

That's okay, at least this will be an indication of time at least
