During testing I discovered Lua doesn't seed itself, resulting in the same request IDs showing in my logs. I've implemented seeding for Unix-like systems using
/dev/urandom
; Lots of pages on the internet suggestos.time()
but this seems like it would make different nginx workers seed with the same number which is undesirable (but I'm no expert, so I could be wrong).
