If you don't mind asking: how do you uniquely identify the requests? Is it a composite field made up of `client_ip:timestamp` or a random UUID? What does a typical payload sent across to the TSDB look like? Also I'm assuming the services are written in a language like C or C++?

• random UUID

• we track function entry/exit/throw, offset (in nanoseconds) from the initial timestamp, and in the case of a throw, we also capture a stack trace (which is not stored in TrailDB)

• our server is written in C++
