I committed the following:

Added ZnCommonLogFormat, an object that formats ZnServerTransactionEvent log objects using the Apache Common Log Format (Combined)

I am ZnCommonLogFormat, I can output ZnServerTransactionEvent objects using Apache Common Log Format (CLF).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Log_Format
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/logs.html#common

Which will give the following output:
