How to log the parentSpanId?

[sstong123]

seems below config parentSpanId doesn't work:
%d{ABSOLUTE} [%X{traceId}/%X{spanId}/%X{parentSpanId}] %-5p [%t] %C{2} - %m%n

why do you need parentSpanId? It isn't supported out of the box.

For log data analysis,also need to know the call chains.

please file an issue in brave. If others want this too, we can change the code to add this to the context. In the mean time, you can copy/paste the code and add the parentId yourself.

1). I customized the brave example code to add the parentSpanId as below:

import brave.internal.HexCodec;
import brave.internal.Nullable;
import brave.propagation.CurrentTraceContext;
import brave.propagation.TraceContext;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.ThreadContext;

/**
 * Adds {@linkplain ThreadContext} properties "traceId" , "spanId" and "parentSpanId" when a {@link
 * brave.Tracer#currentSpan() span is current}. These can be used in log correlation.
 */
public final class MyThreadContextCurrentTraceContext extends CurrentTraceContext {
  public static MyThreadContextCurrentTraceContext create() {
    return create(CurrentTraceContext.Default.inheritable());
  }

  public static MyThreadContextCurrentTraceContext create(CurrentTraceContext delegate) {
    return new MyThreadContextCurrentTraceContext(delegate);
  }

  final CurrentTraceContext delegate;

  MyThreadContextCurrentTraceContext(CurrentTraceContext delegate) {
    if (delegate == null) throw new NullPointerException("delegate == null");
    this.delegate = delegate;
  }

  @Override public TraceContext get() {
    return delegate.get();
  }

  @Override public Scope newScope(@Nullable TraceContext currentSpan) {
    final String previousTraceId = ThreadContext.get("traceId");
    final String previousSpanId = ThreadContext.get("spanId");

    if (currentSpan != null) {
      ThreadContext.put("traceId", currentSpan.traceIdString());
      ThreadContext.put("spanId", HexCodec.toLowerHex(currentSpan.spanId()));
      Long parentId= currentSpan.parentId();     
      if(parentId!=null){
    	  String pid=HexCodec.toLowerHex(parentId);
    	  ThreadContext.put("parentSpanId",pid);
      }
      
    } else {
      ThreadContext.remove("traceId");
      ThreadContext.remove("spanId");
      ThreadContext.remove("parentSpanId");
    }

    final Scope scope = delegate.newScope(currentSpan);
    class ThreadContextCurrentTraceContextScope implements Scope {
      @Override public void close() {
        scope.close();
        ThreadContext.put("traceId", previousTraceId);
        ThreadContext.put("spanId", previousSpanId);
      }
    }
    return new ThreadContextCurrentTraceContextScope();
  }
}

2). add the below line in log4j config file:
[%X{traceId}/%X{spanId}/%X{parentSpanId}]

3). after I sent the request to the parent system,I got parentSpanId:""(blank) that is correct,
but after resent the request to parent system for several times(about 10 times), I got the parentSpanId not blank,why this happened?(it should be blank)
