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 "").

Configuration

Enable the plugin in your Traefik configuration:

[experimental.plugins.traceid]
  modulename = "github.com/trinnylondon/traefik-add-trace-id"
  version = "v0.1.3"

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.
