Server Info (please complete the following information):

OS: Debian 12
Browser: Firefox
RMM Version (as shown in top left of web UI): 0.19.3

Installation Method:

Standard
Standard with --insecure flag at install
Docker

Agent Info (please complete the following information):

Agent version (as shown in the 'Summary' tab of the agent from web UI): 2.8.0
Agent OS: Debian 12 / Ubuntu 20.04 / Ubuntu 22.04

Describe the bug
The boot time for a LXC is displayed incorrectly, it always says the same time as the LXC-Container-Host, also after a fresh reboot of the LXC, or shutdown and switch on again.

Expected behavior
Display of the correct boot time of the container, like other Linux devices.

Additional context
Unfortunately, I don't know how the agent determines the boot time. However, if I use the "uptime" command in one of the LXC, I get the correct time at which the system started. And also the file /proc/uptime contains the correct count of seconds.

If I can somehow help solve the problem with a debug log or something similar from the agent, please let me know.
