Uniquely identify calling users in RSC access logs #21

Closed blairj09 closed 3 years ago

blairj09 commented 3 years ago

In a customer conversation today, the question was raised about how to identify which Tableau user made a request to an analytics extension hosted on RSC. Since all analytics extension requests use the same shared credentials, we'll have to think about how we might do this. It may end up being something that needs to be solved on the RSC side of things.

I don't think we'll be able to capture the Tableau user making the request (unless Tableau is sending that information) but we are going to capture an RSC header that uniquely identifies the request so the Plumber logs can be correlated with the RSC logs.
