Constants

	// the timestamps are aligned in the logs.
	RFC3339NanoFixed = "2006-01-02T15:04:05.000000000Z07:00"

Functions

func FastMarshalJSON

func FastMarshalJSON(t time.Time) (string, error)

FastMarshalJSON avoids one of the extra allocations that time.MarshalJSON is making.

func GetTimestamp

func GetTimestamp(value string, reference time.Time) string

GetTimestamp tries to parse given string as golang duration, then RFC3339 time and finally as a Unix timestamp. If any of these were successful, it returns a Unix timestamp as string otherwise returns the given value back. In case of duration input, the returned timestamp is computed as the given reference time minus the amount of the duration.
