+
+
+The middleware adds an ID to your logs that is unique to each incoming request. [Correlation IDs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields?highlight=x-request-id#:~:text=Csrf%2DToken%3A%20i8XNjC4b8KVok4uw5RftR38Wgp2BFwql-,X%2DRequest%2DID,-%2C%5Bstackoverflow2%201)
+(also knows as request IDs) make it easy to correlate logs from a single HTTP request, and makes debugging simple.
+
+Django GUID also includes ways of extending correlation IDs to Celery workers and Sentry issues.
+
+For the purposes of this package, a GUID (globally unique identifier) is equivalent
+to a UUID (universally unique identifier).
+
+## Examples
+
+Let's assume we have three outgoing requests happening at the same time across our application instances:
+
+```
+INFO  project.views    Fetching resource
+INFO  project.views    Fetching resource
+INFO  project.views    Fetching resource
+INFO  project.services Finished successfully
+INFO  project.services Finished successfully
+ERROR project.services Something went wrong!
+```
+
+Without a correlation-id we have no way of knowing which logs belong to which request.
+
+Using a log filter, we can do a little better:
+
+```
+INFO  [773fa6885e03493498077a273d1b7f2d] project.views    Fetching resource
+INFO  [0d1c3919e46e4cd2b2f4ac9a187a8ea1] project.views    Fetching resource
+INFO  [99d44111e9174c5a9494275aa7f28858] project.views    Fetching resource
+INFO  [99d44111e9174c5a9494275aa7f28858] project.services Finished successfully
+INFO  [773fa6885e03493498077a273d1b7f2d] project.services Finished successfully
+ERROR [0d1c3919e46e4cd2b2f4ac9a187a8ea1] project.services Something went wrong!
+```
+
+With the filter, we now know which logs belong to which request and can start debugging.
+
+## Installation
+
+```shell
+pip install django-guid
+```
+
+## Settings
+
+Package settings are added in your `settings.py`:
+
+```python
+DJANGO_GUID = {
+    'GUID_HEADER_NAME': 'X-Request-ID',
+    'VALIDATE_GUID': True,
+    'RETURN_HEADER': True,
+    'EXPOSE_HEADER': True,
+    'INTEGRATIONS': [],
+    'IGNORE_URLS': [],
+    'UUID_LENGTH': 32,
+}
+```
+
+
+**Optional Parameters**
+
+* `GUID_HEADER_NAME`
+
+  > The name of the GUID to look for in a header in an incoming request. Remember that it's case insensitive.
+
+  Default: `Correlation-ID`
+
+* `VALIDATE_GUID`
+  > Whether the `GUID_HEADER_NAME` should be validated or not.
+  If the GUID sent to through the header is not a valid GUID (`uuid.uuid4`).
+
+  Default: `True`
+
+* `RETURN_HEADER`
+  > Whether to return the GUID (Correlation-ID) as a header in the response or not.
+  It will have the same name as the `GUID_HEADER_NAME` setting.
+
+  Default: `True`
+
+* `EXPOSE_HEADER`
+  > Whether to return `Access-Control-Expose-Headers` for the GUID header if
+  `RETURN_HEADER` is `True`, has no effect if `RETURN_HEADER` is `False`.
+  This is allows the JavaScript Fetch API to access the header when CORS is enabled.
+
+  Default: `True`
+
+* `INTEGRATIONS`
+  > Whether to enable any custom or available integrations with `django_guid`.
+  As an example, using `SentryIntegration()` as an integration would set Sentry's `transaction_id` to
+  match the GUID used by the middleware.
+
+  Default: `[]`
+
+* `IGNORE_URLS`
+  > URL endpoints where the middleware will be disabled. You can put your health check endpoints here.
+
+  Default: `[]`
+
+* `UUID_LENGTH`
+  > Lets you optionally trim the length of the package generated UUIDs.
+
+  Default: `32`
+
+## Configuration
+
+
+Once settings have set up, add the following to your projects' `settings.py`:
+
+### 1. Installed apps
+
+Add `django_guid` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:
+
+```python
+INSTALLED_APPS = [
+    'django_guid',
+]
+```
+
+### 2. Middleware
+
+Add the `django_guid.middleware.guid_middleware` to your `MIDDLEWARE`:
+
+```python
+MIDDLEWARE = [
+    'django_guid.middleware.guid_middleware',
+    ...
+ ]
+```
+
+It is recommended that you add the middleware at the top, so that the remaining middleware loggers include the requests GUID.
+
+### 3. Logging configuration
+
+Add `django_guid.log_filters.CorrelationId` as a filter in your `LOGGING` configuration:
+
+```python
+LOGGING = {
+    ...
+    'filters': {
+        'correlation_id': {
+            '()': 'django_guid.log_filters.CorrelationId'
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Put that filter in your handler:
+
+```python
+LOGGING = {
+    ...
+    'handlers': {
+        'console': {
+            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
+            'formatter': 'medium',
+            'filters': ['correlation_id'],
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+And make sure to add the new `correlation_id` filter to one or all of your formatters:
+
+```python
+LOGGING = {
+    ...
+    'formatters': {
+        'medium': {
+            'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s [%(correlation_id)s] %(name)s %(message)s'
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If these settings were confusing, you might find the repo examples helpful.
+
+### 4. Django GUID logger (optional)
+
+If you wish to see the Django GUID middleware outputs, you may configure a logger for the module.
+Simply add django_guid to your loggers in the project, like in the example below:
+
+```python
+LOGGING = {
+    ...
+    'loggers': {
+        'django_guid': {
+            'handlers': ['console', 'logstash'],
+            'level': 'WARNING',
+            'propagate': False,
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This could be useful for debugging problems with request ID propagation. If a received request header containing a request ID is misconfigured, we will not raise exceptions, but will generate warning logs.
