Hey, we are using a similar procedure right now, but we got the requirement to use the format of, or similar to, a uuid.

FWIW, we use (among others) %Ts (timestamp), %pid (PID b/c multi- process setup), %rc (retry count), and %rt (session request counter), which produces some reasonably unique id, though our constraint is only for it to be (mostly) unique across one server. You can also throw in the server IP or name of course.
