How to add some per-request (OWIN) value to log4net context? - owin

Question

I try to create OWIN(IIS Hosted) middleware that will ensure that all log4net events will have a particular property (CorrelationId) assigned per-request.
I tried to:
Use following middleware and use IOwinContext.
It works only when appender batching size is to 1. Otherwise, the whole batch of events is assigned the same CorrelationId.
public class CorrelationIdMiddleware : OwinMiddleware
{
public CorrelationIdMiddleware(OwinMiddleware next): base(next){}
public override async Task Invoke(IOwinContext context)
{
correlationId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
context.Set("CorrelationId", correlationId);
await Next.Invoke(context);
}
}
Middleware was paired with log4net active property:
public class CorrelationIdActiveLog4NetValue
{
public override string ToString()
{
var context = HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext();
if (context != null)
{
var value = context.Get<string>("CorrelationId");
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
{
return value;
}
}
return "N/A";
}
}
Use LogicalCallContext.
var stack = log4net.LogicalThreadContext.Stacks["CorrelationId"]
using (stack.Push(correlationId))
{
log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(CorrelationIdMiddleware))
.Info("TEST MESSAGE");
await Next.Invoke(context);
}
It worked for the message I produced in the middleware itself, but not when I logged from controllers.
For comparison, in Serilog such middleware code works universally in every case(ASP.NET core):
using (LogContext.PushProperty("BayCorrelationId", context.TraceIdentifier))
{
await next(context);
}
