# X-Request-ID

## 1.0 Overview

X-Request-ID is a random request-id to uniquely identify each request sent to the Fortanix-Data-Security-Manager (DSM). This ID is available as one of the parameters in the response headers of the API response object.

## 2.0 Java SDK

The code to fetch the X-Request-ID is available in the `ApiClient` class of the Java SDK.

For every call to the Fortanix DSM, the `ApiClient` class extracts the request-id from the response headers and displays it in the logs.

The code snippet from the `ApiClient` class is displayed below.

```bash
this.responseHeaders = this.buildResponseHeaders(response);
xRequestId = String.valueOf(((List)response.getHeaders().get("x-request-id")).get(0));
```

The Java SDK logs displaying the X-Request-ID along with the latency for each API call being made to the Fortanix DSM are displayed below.
