[jmeter] Jmeter - get current date and time

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 => 2017-01-25T10:29:00-0700
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z' => 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.
