Description of problem:
Cloned from https://jira.coreos.com/browse/MON-579
Create cluster-monitoring-config configmap to attach PVs, content see below

apiVersion: v1
data:
  config.yaml: |

# oc get sc
NAME            PROVISIONER             AGE
gp2 (default)   kubernetes.io/aws-ebs   144m

But cluster-monitoring-operator pod reports error, "spec.storage.volumeClaimTemplate.metadata.creationTimestamp in body must be of type string: "null"", details please see
