+## Quickstart: Enable Exeuction Id Logging
+
+[Cloud Run Functions(1st gen)](https://cloud.google.com/functions/1stgendocs/deploy) provides an execution id in the logs at `labels.execution_id`, which customers can use to filter their logs for each execution. [Cloud Run Functions](https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/deploy) doesn't have the same feature embedded. 
+
+To have exeuction id logged for `Cloud Run Functions` executions, users can either:
+
+* Provide a custom execution Id in the Http Header `Function-Execution-Id`.
+
+	```sh
+		curl -H "Function-Execution-Id: 123456" localhost:8080
+		# Output: Hello, World!
+	```
+
+	Example Log:
+	```
+	{"message":"Try logging with executionID!","logging.googleapis.com/labels":{"execution_id":"123456"}}
+	```
+
+
+OR 
+* Leverage `LogWriter` provided in function-framework-go(v1.9.0 or higher) library to generate logs. If `Function-Exeuction-Id` is empty, a pseduorandom execution id will be auto-generated if `LogWriter` is used.  
+
+	```golang
+	package function
+
+	import (
+		"fmt"
+		"net/http"
+		"log"
+		"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework-go/functions"
+		"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework-go/funcframework"
+	)
+
+	func init() {
+		functions.HTTP("HelloWorld", helloWorld)
+	}
+
+	// helloWorld writes "Hello, World!" to the HTTP response.
+	func helloWorld(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+		l := log.New(funcframework.LogWriter(r.Context()), "", 0)
+
+		l.Println("Try logging with executionID!")
+		fmt.Fprintln(w, "Hello, World!")
+	}
+	```
+
+	Example Log:
+	```
+	{"message":"Try logging with executionID!","logging.googleapis.com/labels":{"execution_id":"181dbb5b096549313d470dd68fa64d96"}}
+	```
