About request IDs

When the Dgraph is operating in Web services mode, it maintains a sequence number that starts with the value 1 each time the Dgraph is started. Each request that is received gets the next sequential value appended to its URL. These numbers are known as request IDs or HTTP Exchange IDs.

The request ID is copied in each MDEX Engine request log entry, in certain tables in the MDEX Engine statistics page, and in certain other sources of logging information, to help correlate this information with the associated request.
