                            originAttributes(threadContext; message; localNodeInfo); action; arrayToCommaDelimitedString(indices.get());
                            message.getClass().getSimpleName(); opaqueId());
                } else {
                    logger.info("{}[transport] [tampered_request]\t{}; action=[{}]; request=[{}]{}"; localNodeInfo.prefix;
                            originAttributes(threadContext; message; localNodeInfo); action; message.getClass().getSimpleName();
                            opaqueId());
