Micrometer traceId and spanId are missing with log4j2

after I migrated my app from spring boot 2.7 to 3.1.5, I am not able to log traceId and spanId to the logger.

I migrated sleuth to micromerter, as described in migration guide and edited the log4j2.xml file to recommended format [%X{traceId:-}, %X{spanId:-}] but it is not logged as you can see bellow:

        exclude(group = "org.slf4j", module = "slf4j-log4j12")
    }
}

I prepared repo here with branches 2.7 and 3.1 where it can be reproduced by calling the hello endpoint.

Solution

  • Hooks.enableAutomaticContextPropagation() has to be added to the main() function and then it works
