#### Population of Trace/Span ID fields in a LogEntry
Cloud Logging libraries use [trace fields within LogEntry](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/LogEntry#FIELDS.trace) to capture trace contexts, which enables the [correlation of logs and traces](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/correlate-logs), and distributed tracing troubleshooting.
These tracing fields, including [trace](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/LogEntry#FIELDS.trace), [spanId](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/LogEntry#FIELDS.span_id), and [traceSampled](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/LogEntry#FIELDS.trace_sampled), define the trace context for a `LogEntry`.
Tracing information set manually takes precedence over information set by the following methods:
* Auto-populate Trace/Span ID from OpenTelemetry Context
If you are using OpenTelemetry and there is an active span in the OpenTelemetry Context, the `trace`, `span_id`, and `trace_sampled` fields in the log entry are populated from the active span. More information about OpenTelemetry can be found [here](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/java/).
* Use the [servlet initializer](https://github.com/googleapis/java-logging-servlet-initializer) to Populate Trace/Span ID from HTTP Headers
If trace/span Id are not manually set or auto-populated from OpenTelemetry context, you can use the [servlet initializer](https://github.com/googleapis/java-logging-servlet-initializer) to populate trace/span Id from HTTP headers.
This package filters all servlet requests to automatically capture the execution context of the servlet request and stores it by using ContextHandler class. Http request and trace/span Id information are populated from the stored Context class instances.
Using this method, trace/span Id can be automatically populated from either the [W3C Traceparent](https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context) or [X-Cloud-Trace-Context](https://cloud.google.com/trace/docs/trace-context#legacy-http-header) headers.
