## Created Timestamps Zero Injection
`--enable-feature=created-timestamp-zero-ingestion`
Enables ingestion of created timestamp. Created timestamps are injected as 0 valued samples when appropriate. See [PromCon talk](https://youtu.be/nWf0BfQ5EEA) for details.
Currently Prometheus supports created timestamps only on the traditional Prometheus Protobuf protocol (WIP for other protocols). As a result, when enabling this feature, the Prometheus protobuf scrape protocol will be prioritized (See `scrape_config.scrape_protocols` settings for more details).
Besides enabling this feature in Prometheus, created timestamps need to be exposed by the application being scraped.
