Do you know why I would be getting epoch time converted into scientific notation?

ssl_cert_not_after{issuer_cn="DigiCert Global Root CA",serial_no="xxx"} 1.6782768e+09
ssl_cert_not_after{issuer_cn="DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA",serial_no="xxx"} 1.598616e+09

I don't know why exactly but the representation of the value comes from the client library and is understood correctly by Prometheus, so it shouldn't be an issue.

I've always assumed that it happens when a number exceeds a certain size.

I'll try scraping and see what I get in Prometheus

@ScrumpyJack how did you get on?
