The --use-device-data-timestamp flag causes the exporter to use the timestamp emitted from the PVS device. This is disabled by default for a few reasons:

Setting the timestamp explicitly (instead of having Prometheus do it) is best suited for the Push Gateway
Depending on the component, the timestamp value may be too "out-of-date" (for example, the Supervisor component refreshes once every 5 minutes only)
The timestamp field may not be available when the device is in an error state
