What does this change?
This PR adds a new Filter (middleware) to the the common filters and is adding
x-gu-xid
header to the request if it's missing.Context: As part of this PR #27735 the value of
x-gu-xid
is retrieved and added as a log fieldfastlyRequestId
to the request logs. If the header is missing, the default valuerequest-id-not-provided
is used for the log field. We then realised that there are still quite a lot of logs that are ending up withrequest-id-not-provided
value. But it seems that some of the requests e.g.preview
requests or requests coming from nextgen, don't have thex-gu-xid
header. So this filter is explicitly adding the header in order to better associate the logs.The DCR PR that is relevant to this PR: guardian/dotcom-rendering#13266
