How are you passing that UUID along the request chain? For instance, when one microservice calls another, does it have to be manually passed in?

My web stack checks for a specific header at each potential level of entry, and in the absence of a value, generates one. Then each layer's logger will log it back out. It's pretty straightforward for web requests - just use the plumbing that's already there, headers.

Some platforms will do this for you -- Cloud Foundry will show `x-cf-requestid` for anything that passed through the gorouter and back.
