I think it would be a resonable extension to rfc5424 to allow it's parser to accept more digits in the timestamp.

I'm not sure that digits beyond microseconds really represent valid time, but I don't think it's a big deal to support it.

It might be possible to extend the rfc3339 time format to rfc3339nano,
but that will break rfc5424 which allow up to microseconds precision
only. Similar already in use when rfc3164 syslog messages used with
rfc3339 timestamps.

Consider opening github request for the implementation.

Is there a way to get nanoseconds in and out of rsyslog? I'm using
dateformat rfc3339, and it works find for micros, but at nanos, the
timestamp gets correupted:

property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339")

Also, when writing out json formatted fields, is there a way to print out a
numeric property? I would like to make syslogseverity a number, but I have
been unsuccessful in creating a numeric json field. My workaround is to
handcraft the entire json payload instead of using the jsonf option  on the
template.

Thanks,
Jason
