Implement IHttpRequestIdentifierFeature on Frame #1578

natemcmaster · 2017-03-31T16:47:06Z

This feature generates a unique ID per request. This unique ID can be used in event source and logging.

Also, this change improves KestrelEventSource by moving it back into the Kestrel.Core assembly and de-coupling from the Libuv transport. This adds two new events, RequestStart and RequestStop, which can be used to identify the correlation between connection ID and request trace
identifier.

Resolves #1367

Depending on the outcome of dotnet/extensions#197, this may move to Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives

Why not leave it in HttpAbstractions? Kestrel and Hosting would have access to it there. Or does something else need it?

I'll refer you to dotnet/extensions#197 on that one. @muratg is looking into it.

Sample log when application request has an error:

fail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel[13]
      Connection id "0HL3OB48ARG6C", Request id "0HL3OB48ARG6H": An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.

These can be reduced to bool IHttpResponseFeature.HasStarted => HasResponseStarted; right?

Yes. Will update.

I wonder if we need these events. Hosting does the exact same thing what value do we add here?

Hosting only logs method and path. This logs connectionId and requestId to make it possible to correlate connections and requests.

Why the scopes?

avoiding copy+paste errors. Because the asserts for each event type looks so similar.

WriteAsync

Why not ConcurrentBag instead of set + lock?

Assert.NotNull again?

It's implicit as we already asserted id != null.

Would it make sense to give connection and request id's unique prefixes to make them easier to distinguish in logs?

Since you are moving KestrelEventSource back to the Core project, can this change also move the connection start/stop logging to core? It would be nice if this tracing could be shared between transports.

This change was required to decouple Connection which is in Transport.Libuv and KestrelEventSource which is now in Core. ConnectionStop/Start are still on KestrelEventSource which is in Kestrel.Core, but the public methods now take string arguments directly instead of Connection.

I still think this is worth doing now. Rather than partially moving KestrelEventSource to Core, let's move it completely. I think this might require adding some sort of OnConnectionClosed() method to IConnectionContext, but it should still be a pretty quick/simple change.

@shirhatti thoughts?

Another idea I played with making each request ID contain the connection id so correlation is even easier.

// pseudocode
var count = _connectionRequests++;
var requestId = $"{_connectionId}:{count}";

Nit: Move below "// TODO: Remove these (Use Pipes instead?)"

There is a task that will be added to Pipes that should let us track when SocketOutputConsumer complete's it's pipe reader which will be right after disposing the socket.
