User · Answer

it seems to be the java SimpleDateFormat : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

here are some tests i did around 11:30pm on the 20th of May 2015

${__time(dd-mmm-yyyy HHmmss)} 20-032-2015 233224
${__time(d-MMM-yyyy hhmmss)}  20-May-2015 113224
${__time(dd-m-yyyy hhmmss)}   20-32-2015 113224
${__time(D-M-yyyy hhmmss)}    140-5-2015 113224
${__time(DD-MM-yyyy)}         140-05-2015

Use     time yyyy-MM-dd T hh mm ss   to convert time into a particular timeformat  Here are other formats that you can use   yyyy MM dd HH mm ss SSS yyyy MM dd HH mm ss yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss SSS yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss MM dd yy HH mm ss   You can use Z character to get milliseconds too  For example   yyyy MM dd HH mm ssZ   gt  2017-01-25T10 29 00-0700 yyyy MM dd HH mm ss SSS Z    gt  2017-01-25T10 28 49 549Z   Most of the time yyyy MM dd HH mm ss SSS Z  is required in some APIs  It is better to know how to convert time into this format

JMeter is using java SimpleDateFormat   For UTC with timezone use this      time yyyy-MM-dd T hh mm ssX

Use   time function        time dd MM yyyy        time hh mm a      Since JMeter 3 3  there are two new functions that let you compute a time      timeShift      The timeShift function returns a date in the given format with the specified amount of seconds  minutes  hours  days or months added  and      RandomDate      The RandomDate function returns a random date that lies between the given start date and end date values      Since JMeter 4 0   dateTimeConvert      Convert a date or time from source to target format   If you re looking to learn jmeter correctly  this book will help you
