It's date and time in common log format
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Log_Format).

No, the is no way to specify arbitrary format for time. The only
available options out-of-the box is $time_local (time in common log
format) and $msec (seconds since the Epoch with milliseconds
resolution).

The only option for now is to use something like embedded perl to
construct time in arbitrary format, something like

perl_set $tt 'sub { scalar localtime }';

and then use it in logs via appropriate log_format. But I don't
really think it's a good way to go.

BTW, could you please explain why do you need time in this particular
format?
