Problem to solve

• There does not currently exist a way to correlate a request from our front door (haproxy) all the way to the backend service, example workhorse.
• Currently there's a lot of guess work with timings of requests and the URI and the user agent, but this solution is error prone and very difficult to achieve and finely target specific end users

Proposal

• I'd like for the X-Forwarded-For IP addresses to be logged in our rails service logs.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

• Success will be seen by viewing our logs that have the X-forwarded-for ip's logged
