Bug ID: 57402
Summary: Provide correlation ID between mod_jk log and access
log
Product: Tomcat Connectors
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: mod_jk
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: rainer.j...@kippdata.de
Since version 2.4 of the Apache web server it has a feature named correlation
ID, that allows to log a unique id in the error log and the access log. If you
want to identify a request which triggered an error message, you can pick the
correlation id from the error message and look for the same id in the access
log. The id will be unique per request. Furthermore for cases where the error
occured before reading the request, there is also a connection correlation id.
The IDs are in the log_id member of the requets and connection structs.
It would be nice if mod_jk would also add the ID to its mod_jk log.
There are several implementation problems though:
- mod_jk doesn't pass a request or connection struct down to the log
implementation. So we can't easily access log_id. It might be possible by
introducing thread local storage - which is supported by many platforms - and
set a TLS pointer to the connection and request objects early during
processing.
- Apache sets the log_id not for every request, but only when it needs to write
an error message for a request. We could set the log_id fields in mod_jk though
(if not already set). It seems Apache won't overwrite them if they are already
set (needs checking, see add_log_id() in server/log.c).
- Making this work for Apache before 2.4 must be based on a different storage
location for the log_id.
- I haven't thought about making this even work for ISAPI.
I currently don't plan working on this. Patches welcome.
