Log Request ID Mappings (partial)

Registered by Chris Buccella

Each OpenStack service has sends a request ID header with HTTP responses. This value can be useful for tracking down problems in the logs. However, when operations cross service boundaries, this tracking can become difficult, as
each service has its own request ID. This becomes especially problematic when requests are coming in parallel. For example, nova will call to glance for images, but that glance instance may be handling several other requests at the same time. By logging a mapping of nova's request ID and glance's request ID on the same log line, the user can easily find the glance request ID that is related to his nova request in the n-api log. That glance request ID can then be searched for in glance's logs.

    Log Request ID Mappings

Added to Juno series, as nova-spec is reviewed, please add some code, to prove you are going to make the milestone before this can be approved. --johnthetubaguy (8th May 2014)

I can see code up for review now, so approving the blueprint --johnthetubaguy (23rd May 2014)

Juno-1 is very soon, this is at risk of being punted into Juno-2, so marking as slow progress. Please request the people with -2 to remove them when you restore the change, so we can move more quickly with the reviews. Do catch me in IRC for questions. --johnthetubaguy (30 May 2014)

Doesn't seem to be getting any closer - external dependency on glance client change, moving to juno-1 --johnthetubaguy 9th May 2014

No more progress, punting this to juno-3 --johnthetubaguy (15ht July 2014)

No more progress, so new patches are punted out of juno now, glance stuff can stay --johnthetubaguy 21st August 2014

Sorry, this does not have enough positive reviews to make it for juno-3, please resubmit for kilo. For more information, please contact me (johnthetubaguy) via IRC or email. --johnthetubaguy 2nd September 2014
