Accept an incoming correlation ID from the request

Configure your HTTP request headers to accept an incoming correlation ID.

About this task

By default, the server generates a new, unique correlation ID for each HTTP request, and ignores any correlation ID that can be set on the request. This can be changed by designating the names of one or more HTTP request headers that contain an existing correlation ID value. This enables the server to integrate with a larger system consisting of every server using correlation IDs.

Steps

  • To accept an incoming correlation ID from the request, designate the names of multiple HTTP request headers that contain an existing correlation ID value.

Example

$ bin/dsconfig set-connection-handler-prop \
  --handler-name "HTTPS Connection Handler" \
  --set correlation-id-request-header:X-Request-Id \
  --set correlation-id-request-header:X-Correlation-Id \
  --set correlation-id-request-header:Correlation-Id \
  --set correlation-id-request-header:X-Amzn-Trace-Id
