 When using cf_logging in a web application you don't need to set the correlation ID, because the logging library will fetch it from the HTTP headers and set it.
-For non web applications you could set the correlation ID manually, so that the log entries can be filtered later on based on the correlation_id.
+For non web applications you could set the correlation ID manually, so that the log entries can be filtered later on based on the ``correlation_id`` log property.

-Whenever a correlation id is set after initializing cf_logging without a specific framework (ex: cf_logging.init()) - this same correlation ID would be used for each log record.

-If you need a *thread safe* correlation ID, you can reuse the ``cf_logging.job_loffing.framework.JobFramework`` and provide your own context implementation that is *thread safe*.

 In async frameworks like Sanic and Falcon the context is stored into the request object and you need to provide the request to the call:
