Laravel Log Trace ID

This package adds trace IDs to all log messages in your Laravel application. It helps with debugging by providing a unique identifier that can be used to track requests across multiple services or log entries.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require restrole/laravel-logwithtraceid

Configuration

The package works out of the box with zero configuration. However, you can publish the config file if you want to customize the behavior:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-logwithtraceid

This will create a config/logwithtraceid.php file with the following options:

• middleware_groups: The middleware group to automatically register the middleware (default: api)
• header_name: The HTTP header name to use for the trace ID (default: X-Trace-ID)
• log_context_key: The key to use when adding the trace ID to the log context (default: trace_id)

<?php

return [
    'middleware_groups' => ['api'],
    'header_name' => 'X-Trace-ID',
    'log_context_key' => 'trace_id',
];

Automatic Middleware Registration

By default, the package automatically registers its middleware to the api middleware group. This means any request going through the API routes will automatically get a trace ID attached to all log messages.

Manual Middleware Registration

If you prefer to manually register the middleware or need to use it in a different middleware group, you can do so by first disabling automatic registration in the config file:

return [
    'middleware_group' => null, // Set to null to disable auto-registration
    // ... other config options
];

Then register the middleware manually in your app/Http/Kernel.php:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        // ... other middleware
        \Restrole\LaravelLogWithTraceId\Middleware\AddTraceIdMiddleware::class,
    ],

    'api' => [
        // ... other middleware
        \Restrole\LaravelLogWithTraceId\Middleware\AddTraceIdMiddleware::class,
    ],
];

Accessing the Trace ID

$traceId = app('trace_id');

Logging with Trace ID

Once installed, all your log messages will automatically include the trace ID:

Log::info('User logged in');
// Output: [2025-01-01 12:00:00] local.INFO: User logged in {"trace_id":"abc123"}
