Set ID manually

Our app does some periodic polling, which is started by a setInterval and not an external call to our app. This call is missing a trace id. Would it be possible for us to manually set an ID before kicking of the async calls?

Or code is essentially this

export async function setupBroadcastPolling(client: SomeClient) {
  async function loadMessages() {
    try {
      const data = await loadBroadcastMessages(client);

      if (data) {
        broadcastMessages = data.messages;
      }
    } catch (error) {
      logger.error({ error }, 'Unable to poll broadcast messages');
    }
  }

  // reload every minute
  setInterval(loadMessages, 60 * 1000).unref();

  await loadMessages();
}

It would be great if we could have an ID in our logs in this case as well. In this case I’d love to somehow set an ID if it’s missing within the loadMessages function. Our client does a bunch of logging as it works, which are all missing the request ID

12.18.0 in prod, 12.18.1 locally. It works consistently locally with both 12.17.0 and 12.18.1. Hoping it’s not something weird with the load balancers in GCP or something…

Thanks! I’m having troubles reproducing this locally, it seems to only happen when deployed, for some reason… Will keep on trying to get a reproduction locally
