Timber v2.5.2 Timber.Integrations.HTTPContextPlug View Source
Automatically captures the HTTP method, path, and request_id in Plug-based frameworks like Phoenix and adds it to the context.
By adding this data to the context, you’ll be able to associate all the log statements that occur while processing that HTTP request.
Adding the Plug
Timber.Integrations.HTTPContextPlug
can be added to your plug pipeline using the
standard Plug.Builder.plug/2
macro. The point at which you place it determines
what state Timber will receive the connection in, therefore it’s recommended you place
it as close to the origin of the request as possible.
Plug (Standalone or Plug.Router)
If you are using Plug without a framework, your setup will vary depending on your
architecture. The call to plug Timber.Integrations.HTTPContextPlug
should be grouped with
any other plugs you call prior to performing business logic.
Timber expects query parameters to have already been fetched on the connection using
Plug.Conn.fetch_query_params/2
.
Phoenix
Phoenix’s flexibility means there are multiple points in the plug pipeline
where the Timber.Integrations.HTTPContextPlug
can be inserted. The recommended place is in
endpoint.ex
. Make sure that you insert this plug immediately before your Router
plug.
Request ID
Timber does its best to track the request ID for every HTTP request in order to help you
filter your logs easily. If you are calling the Plug.RequestId
plug in your pipeline,
you should make sure that Timber.Integrations.HTTPContextPlug
appears after that plug so
that it can pick up the correct ID.
By default, Timber expects your request ID to be stored using the header name “X-Request-ID” (casing irrelevant), but that may not fit all needs. If you use a custom header name for your request ID, you can pass that name as an option to the plug:
plug Timber.Plug, request_id_header: "req-id"

When the Plug.Builder.plug/2
macro is called, it will use this
function to prepare options. Any resulting options will be
passed on to the plug on every call. The options accepted
by this function are the same as defined by call/2
