How do I correlate logs, metrics, and traces for mTLS?

Learn how to effectively correlate logs, metrics, and traces when implementing mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) in your applications. This guide provides insights into enhancing observability and security in a microservices architecture.

<?php // Example of correlating logs, metrics, and traces with mTLS use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface; class MTLSDemo { private $logger; public function __construct(LoggerInterface $logger) { $this->logger = $logger; } public function handleRequest($request) { // Start a trace $traceId = uniqid('trace_', true); $this->logger->info("Received request", ["trace_id" => $traceId]); // Process request $this->logger->info("Processing request", ["trace_id" => $traceId]); // Emit metrics $this->emitMetrics($traceId); // Finish handling $this->logger->info("Finished processing request", ["trace_id" => $traceId]); } private function emitMetrics($traceId) { // Simulated metric emission $this->logger->info("Emitting metrics", ["trace_id" => $traceId, "success" => true]); } } ?>
