That looks good. I’ll give it a try. Follow-up question: is there a way to get a hold of the request number from within unlang? I don’t think I see it anywhere in the source code but I want to ask anyway. If not, is this something planned for a future release or is there a better way to correlate different log lines to the same request?

Thanks again!
