GRAYLOG - Chapter 4, Exercise 1 Solution ========================================================== Following a Scheduler Job Downstream PROBLEM ------- You've found one log line for a scheduler job with jobRunId:abc123, but a follow-up search for jobRunId:abc123 only returns that one line, even though you know the job triggered further downstream processing. Using this chapter's own material, explain what to search for next. SOLUTION -------- This chapter's own warn-box established that jobRunId is scheduler- specific, and that a job originating in the scheduler does NOT keep its own jobRunId name as it propagates further into the system - it is forwarded downstream under the different field name requestId instead. Since the ID value itself (abc123) carries forward unchanged, only the FIELD NAME changes once the job leaves the scheduler: requestId:abc123 ANSWER: Search for requestId:abc123 (the same ID value, but under the requestId field name) rather than continuing to search jobRunId - the trail hasn't gone cold, it has simply changed field names as the job moved past the scheduler into the rest of the system. ---- WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER This is a direct application of the chapter's own explicit warning about jobRunId being forwarded downstream as requestId. Without knowing this real, specific quirk, a reasonable person would conclude the investigation had hit a dead end - the chapter's own point in flagging it is exactly to prevent that false conclusion.
