Version: NSD 4.10.1

This is a feature request to use standard timestamp format for NSD output, including timezone.

Why?

• Adding timezone would greatly simplify correlating logs from different servers.
• Maintaining custom parser is ... suboptimal.

NSD currently outputs:

+ nsd -c nsd.conf -d
[2024-09-24 18:11:29.157] nsd[264440]: notice: nsd starting (NSD 4.10.1)

It would be really great if it could output ISO8601 format:

2024-09-24T18:11:29.157+00:00 nsd[264440]: notice: nsd starting (NSD 4.10.1)

BTW Knot DNS uses the ISO format already.

I dunno if this is deemed an incompatible change or not, but if it is maybe an extra option to switch format could be introduced?

Thank you for considering this.
