Hello,
I'm trying to get the current time and date with milliseconds precision. I'm
using lua with nginx/openresty. Can someone help?
Many thanks!

lua module is the third-party product, created by another team.
Follow that, I'd recommend to use OpenResty maillist for such questions,
https://openresty.org/en/community.html
Thank you.

In general, nginx can provide time with millisecond resolution.
For example, see the $msec variable (http://nginx.org/r/$msec).
Note though that precision is not the same thing as resolution.
Since nginx updates time only at the start of an event loop
iteration, and various operations, such as disk access, might take
significant time, likely precision will be worse than 1
millisecond. Further, precision might be much worse if you've
configured nginx to update time only once in a while by using the
timer_resolution directive (http://nginx.org/r/timer_resolution).
Hope this helps.
