Feature request: ID for internal sources in random and rotate switches #3851

Open vitoyucepi opened 6 months ago

vitoyucepi commented 6 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Random and Rotate switch functions internally create two additional sources without setting their IDs, making it difficult to track what's actually happening in the logs.

2024/04/01 12:03:41 [schedule:3] Switch to monday_afternoon with forgetful transition.
2024/04/01 12:03:41 [monday_afternoon:3] Switch to on_track.2.
2024/04/01 12:03:41 [switch.3:3] Switch to Music_A.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to see what happens inside the Random and Rotate switches.

Describe alternatives you've considered I don't know, maybe hide intermediate levels altogether.

Additional context N/A

Thanks for pointing that out. I've been annoyed by this for a while too: we need a way to identify sources that are created as part of an operator. I'll see what I can do for 2.3.x.

Was working on a small log parser today to get some insights about how much our fallback input is used and noticed that it couldn't be looked up by ID. This would be great to have!
