$_SERVER['UNIQUE_ID'] ?? '',

NC server use mod_uniq_id or random value to identify HTTP request. One cannot specify name of HTTP request header to get this ID from (i.e. to use ID generated by reverse proxy for log correlation).

Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce config parameter (i.e. request_id_header); when defined and not empty, check if request contains such header with non-empty value and use it as request id in NC server; otherwise use UNIQUE_ID if defined, otherwise generate random id.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Dirty workaround for Apache to use request IDs from X-Request-ID header set by reverse proxy:

# Set UNIQUE_ID from X-Request-ID header to simulate mod_unique_id behavior.
SetEnvIfNoCase ^X-Request-ID$ "(.+)" UNIQUE_ID=$1
