Since no one answered this question and I have a feeling that someone will encounter this problem again, I'll post a working solution. Use the extended JSON of mongodb to specify the date data type.
{ logtime : {"$date" : "2016-07-11T03:54:59Z"} }

how does one insert a date into a meta collection?
i've tried on the NoSQL Explorer to insert the following:
{"date":new Date("2014-12-11T14:12:00Z")}
{"date":ISODate("2014-12-11T14:12:00Z")}
{"date":new ISODate("2014-12-11T14:12:00Z")}
and it always says "Error Parsing JSON".

Answer
You can use new Date() to get the current date / time
var now = new Date();
You can then use this in your update document
{"time" : now}

Hi guys,
How do I go about inserting and updating a document's field with the current time? Something like: {time:now()}.
You can use new Date() to get the current date / time
var now = new Date();
You can then use this in your update document
{"time" : now}
