Research direction

The issue names handler invocations, progress requests, and locally scheduled re-invocations but no files or tests. Start by tracing where these log entries are emitted and how invocation context is carried between calls. Done means the related entries can be reliably searched using a consistent request or correlation identifier.

Description

enhancement help wanted investigating

Hi!

At the moment there's no way of co-relating log entries outputted from the handler.
An invocation (without customer log calls would look like:


2020-01-14T19:14:17.627+01:00 | Record Handler Progress with Request Id <RequestId> and Request: {RecordHandlerProgressRequest(BearerToken=<token> OperationStatus=IN_PROGRESS, CurrentOperationStatus=PENDING, ClientRequestToken=<token>)}
2020-01-14T19:14:18.283+01:00 | [CREATE] invoking handler...
2020-01-14T19:14:20.304+01:00 | [CREATE] handler invoked
2020-01-14T19:14:20.338+01:00 | Handler returned IN_PROGRESS
2020-01-14T19:14:20.474+01:00 | Record Handler Progress with Request Id <RequestId2> and Request: {RecordHandlerProgressRequest(BearerToken=<token>, OperationStatus=IN_PROGRESS, CurrentOperationStatus=IN_PROGRESS, ResourceModel={"attr": 123}, ClientRequestToken=<token>)}
2020-01-14T19:14:20.504+01:00 | Scheduling re-invoke locally after 1 seconds, with Context {RequestContext(invocation=1, callbackContext=CallbackContext(var1=123, var2=321), cloudWatchEventsRuleName=null, cloudWatchEventsTargetId=null)}
2020-01-14T19:14:21.541+01:00 | [CREATE] invoking handler...
2020-01-14T19:14:21.641+01:00 | [CREATE] handler invoked
2020-01-14T19:14:21.667+01:00 | Handler returned SUCCESS

The problem at the moment is that we do not have the possibility to co-relate those log entries easily through search.
Is it possible to maybe have the requestId as a prefix to all log entries? or some sort of correlational token like a transactionID?

Thanks!
