A CorrelationId is an identifier used to group together logs. This might be all logs as a result of calling a webform or MVC controller action. To use it add the following to your global.asax.cs, replacing NinjectDependencyResolver with your dependency resolver of choice.

	protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		NinjectDependencyResolver.Current.Resolve<ICorrelationIdHelper>().SetCorrelationId(Guid.NewGuid());
	}

There are three built-in ICorrelationIdHelper implementations, CorrelationIdHelper, WebCorrelationIdHelper and NullCorrelationIdHelper

WebCorrelationIdHelper is for use on a website. CorrelationIdHelper is for use in a console app, windows service, winform or other such application not managed by IIS. NullCorrelationIdHelper is for use in unit and integration tests. It always returns Guid.Empty
