Description

Entire conversation @
http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg18501.html

Update the Docs as well @ http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.0-incubating/html/Admin_Guide/troubleshooting-working-with-server-logs.html

I would use the job-id returned in API responses to track the
progress of a job. With the switchover to uuids all async APIs return a
jobid as uuid. The logs however do not have this uuid making it hard
to track a failed job and extract the stacktrace.

What's the suggested way to workaround/fix this?

(PS: I know I can query the async_job table)
