Spring sleuth generate custom trace id

Question

I need to customize the way spring sleuth generates the trace id value: in my case the client sends a correlation id using a query param and I would like to use that value as trace id. Is that possible? How?

Thanks in advance.

Probably not, Sleuth is very specific about the format of it's traceId and spanId values. You can always manually set http headers X-B3-traceId and X-B3-spanId and then sleuth will not try to generate those itself, but there is no knowing that this will keep working correctly indefinitely. – Tergal
