SaanSoft.CorrelationId.Web

Use with SaanSoft.CorrelationId in web or api projects.

In a distributed system it can be a challenge to trace HTTP requests and messages through multiple microservices.

A CorrelationId (or some systems call it TraceId) is metadata than can be used to bundle each logical transaction as it moves through multiple processors.

With this system, your client's requests are collected under one value for easier tracking and troubleshooting.

Use WebCorrelationIdMiddleware to extract the CorrelationId from HTTP context and/or headers, and:

  • set the ICorrelationIdProvider to use that value
  • optionally set a response header with the CorrelationId (enabled by default)
  • optionally add the CorrelationId to ILogger.BeginScope so all structured logs have the CorrelationId on them (enabled by default)

Use WebCorrelationIdOptions.Evaluators to configure how the CorrelationId is extracted from the HTTP request. The first valid match is used. If no match is found, WebCorrelationIdMiddleware will generate a random string instead.

Use in your Api or Website

Prerequisite

Configure SaanSoft.CorrelationId.

Register middleware

Then in your Program.cs or Startup.cs add:

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseWebCorrelationIdMiddleware();
// OR
app.UseWebCorrelationIdMiddleware(new WebCorrelationIdOptions {
  ...
});
...

Evaluators

When registering WebCorrelationIdMiddleware, you can provide zero or more evaluators in the options.

The Evaluators are short functions which attempt to get the CorrelationId from HttpContext. Such as from a request header, or dotnet's built in Activity.Current.

Common evaluators can be found in SaanSoft.CorrelationId.Web.Evaluator, but you can provide your own if desired.
