What is the purpose of Correlation PreviousRequestId in logs?

[ahmedtolba1984]

Dears,
I already ready documentation on CorrelationIDs**/**Tracing but I can't understand the purpose of PreviousRequestId in log files

Documentation

• Request ID
• Logging

Answer

• PreviousRequestId represents ID of the previous request

But after our review of the Logging design during release 22.0.0, as a team we would say, this PreviousRequestId sub-feature is broken. We see empty values in logs always.
So, we keep in mind this problem.

@ggnaegi FYI
Do you see empty values of this property in logs of the production?

@raman-m for a normal request you will never have a non-null previous id (http context is a scoped service). Maybe for request aggregation?

@ggnaegi Can you prove that attaching logs from prod please? Much appreciate that.
I'm a bit confused cause I thought this feature is broken. But you said the feature is functioning. I need to look at real logs...
