Description

We want to have an ability (extension point) to control default MDC keys. Now they are statically defined in workers.

Why it's important:

  • we have multiple stacks: Java + Python and trying to unite our services logs/metrics/traces with single naming conventions.
  • we have logging based integration: sentry, metrics from logs, etc.

Research direction

Start by locating the workers where the default MDC keys are statically defined. Review how those keys are used across logging, metrics, and tracing, then determine the extension point's required scope from the issue. Done means services can supply a custom naming convention for the default MDC keys.
