--------------

Django GUID attaches a unique correlation ID/request ID to all your log outputs for every request.
In other words, all logs connected to a request now has a unique ID attached to it, making debugging simple.

Which version of Django GUID you should use depends on your Django version and whether you run ``ASGI`` or ``WSGI`` servers.
To determine which Django-GUID version you should use, please see the table below.

+---------------------+--------------------------+
| Django version | Django-GUID version |
+=====================+==========================+
| 3.1.1 or above | 3.x.x - ASGI and WSGI |
+---------------------+--------------------------+
| 3.0.0 - 3.1.0 | 2.x.x - Only WSGI |
+---------------------+--------------------------+
| 2.2.x | 2.x.x - Only WSGI |
+---------------------+--------------------------+

Django GUID >= 3.0.0 uses ``ContextVar`` to store and access the GUID. Previous versions stored the GUID to an object,
making it accessible by using the ID of the current thread. (Version 2 of Django GUID is supported until Django2.2 LTS is over.)

**Examples**

Log output with a GUID:

.. code-block:: flex

INFO ... [773fa6885e03493498077a273d1b7f2d] project.views This is a DRF view log, and should have a GUID.
WARNING ... [773fa6885e03493498077a273d1b7f2d] project.services.file Some warning in a function
INFO ... [0d1c3919e46e4cd2b2f4ac9a187a8ea1] project.views This is a DRF view log, and should have a GUID.
INFO ... [99d44111e9174c5a9494275aa7f28858] project.views This is a DRF view log, and should have a GUID.
WARNING ... [0d1c3919e46e4cd2b2f4ac9a187a8ea1] project.services.file Some warning in a function

Log output without a GUID:

.. code-block:: flex

INFO ... project.views This is a DRF view log, and should have a GUID.
WARNING ... project.services.file Some warning in a function
INFO ... project.views This is a DRF view log, and should have a GUID.

************
Installation
************

Install using pip:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install django-guid

********
Settings
********

Package settings are added in your ``settings.py``:

.. code-block:: python

DJANGO_GUID = {
'GUID_HEADER_NAME': 'Correlation-ID',
'VALIDATE_GUID': True,
'RETURN_HEADER': True,
'EXPOSE_HEADER': True,
'INTEGRATIONS': [],
'IGNORE_URLS': [],
'UUID_LENGTH': 32,
}

**Optional Parameters**

* :code:`GUID_HEADER_NAME`
The name of the GUID to look for in a header in an incoming request. Remember that it's case insensitive.

Default: Correlation-ID

* :code:`VALIDATE_GUID`
Whether the :code:`GUID_HEADER_NAME` should be validated or not.
If the GUID sent to through the header is not a valid GUID (:code:`uuid.uuid4`).

Default: True

* :code:`RETURN_HEADER`
Whether to return the GUID (Correlation-ID) as a header in the response or not.
It will have the same name as the :code:`GUID_HEADER_NAME` setting.

Default: True

* :code:`EXPOSE_HEADER`
Whether to return :code:`Access-Control-Expose-Headers` for the GUID header if
:code:`RETURN_HEADER` is :code:`True`, has no effect if :code:`RETURN_HEADER` is :code:`False`.
This is allows the JavaScript Fetch API to access the header when CORS is enabled.

Default: True

* :code:`INTEGRATIONS`
Whether to enable any custom or available integrations with :code:`django_guid`.
As an example, using :code:`SentryIntegration()` as an integration would set Sentry's :code:`transaction_id` to
match the GUID used by the middleware.

Default: []

* :code:`IGNORE_URLS`
URL endpoints where the middleware will be disabled. You can put your health check endpoints here.

Default: []

* :code:`UUID_LENGTH`
Lets you optionally trim the length of the package generated UUIDs.

Default: 32

*************
Configuration
*************

Once settings have set up, add the following to your projects' ``settings.py``:

1. Installed Apps
=================

Add :code:`django_guid` to your :code:`INSTALLED_APPS`:

.. code-block:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_guid',
]

2. Middleware
=============

Add the :code:`django_guid.middleware.guid_middleware` to your ``MIDDLEWARE``:

.. code-block:: python

MIDDLEWARE = [
'django_guid.middleware.guid_middleware',
...
]

It is recommended that you add the middleware at the top, so that the remaining middleware loggers include the requests GUID.

3. Logging Configuration
========================

Add :code:`django_guid.log_filters.CorrelationId` as a filter in your ``LOGGING`` configuration:

.. code-block:: python

LOGGING = {
...
'filters': {
'correlation_id': {
'()': 'django_guid.log_filters.CorrelationId'
}
}
}

Put that filter in your handler:

.. code-block:: python

LOGGING = {
...
'handlers': {
'console': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'medium',
'filters': ['correlation_id'],
}
}
}

And make sure to add the new ``correlation_id`` filter to one or all of your formatters:

.. code-block:: python

LOGGING = {
...
'formatters': {
'medium': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s [%(correlation_id)s] %(name)s %(message)s'
}
}
}

If these settings were confusing, please have a look in the demo projects'
`settings.py `_ file for a complete example.

4. Django GUID Logger (Optional)
================================

If you wish to see the Django GUID middleware outputs, you may configure a logger for the module.
Simply add django_guid to your loggers in the project, like in the example below:

.. code-block:: python

LOGGING = {
...
'loggers': {
'django_guid': {
'handlers': ['console', 'logstash'],
'level': 'WARNING',
'propagate': False,
}
}
}

This is especially useful when implementing the package, if you plan to pass existing GUIDs to the middleware, as misconfigured GUIDs will not raise exceptions, but will generate warning logs.
