Misc

This plugin is forked and based on the lastest version of https://github.com/trinnylondon/traefik-add-trace-id

About

This plugin will append a custom header for tracing with a random value if one is not found already in the incoming request.

You can optionally customise this by specifying a custom header name that the plugin will look for in the incoming request (defaults to X-Trace-Id) and you can also specify a custom prefix to be added to that header (defaults to ""). For compatibility reason one can choose the tarceid format to be uuid or hex.

Format	Generated traceid	length
uuid	3c69679f-774b-4fb1-80c1-7b29c6e7d0a0	36 Bytes
hex	3c69679f774b4fb180c17b29c6e7d0a0	32 Bytes

Configuration

Enable the plugin in your Traefik configuration:

[experimental.plugins.traceid]
  modulename = "github.com/modell-aachen/traefik-add-trace-id"
  version = "v0.2.0"

Create a Middleware. Note that this plugin does not need any configuration, however, values must be passed in for it to be accepted within Traefik.
