Problem Description: seven of HTTP logs are stored in acccess.log in, then four proxy stream route logging and how to enable a custom log path it? Traditional OpenResty can be achieved.

Issue #5417

link:

https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/5417

problem description: Currently, if the user does not specify an ID, Apache APISIX will generate an ID during initialization. It relies on the lua-resty-jit-uuid library, but does not have a clear seed. as follows :

 uuid.seed() 
 apisix_uid = uuid.generate_v4() 
 log.notice("not found apisix uid, generate a new one: ", apisix_uid)

The jit-uuid library creates a seed through the process ID and time in the ngx\_lua environment, as follows:

        if ngx then
            seed = ngx.time() + ngx.worker.pid()

However, in a containerized environment, the process ID (main process) may be the same, that is, process number 1. In addition, if a user tries to deploy an Apache APISIX cluster on Kubernetes through deployment resources, the time for several Pods may be the same. Because ngx.time is not accurate enough (only in milliseconds). Therefore, the generated APISIX ID may be duplicated. If this ID is critical, this may cause serious consequences in business scenarios.
