The format of gunicorn's access log can be set in the configuration file. The configuration key is access_log_format.
The default configuration is:
access_log_format = '%(h)s %(l)s %(u)s %(t)s "%(r)s" %(s)s %(b)s "%(f)s" "%(a)s"'
We can add %({x-request-id}i)s header to the end. It means to get X-Request-ID from request headers.
access_log_format = '%(h)s %(l)s %(u)s %(t)s "%(r)s" %(s)s %(b)s "%(f)s" "%(a)s" %({x-request-id}i)s'
If you don't want to use a configuration file, you can add an argument access-logformat to the command line.
Here's an example:
gunicorn app:app --access-logfile /path/to/log --access-logformat '%(h)s %(l)s %(u)s %(t)s "%(r)s" %(s)s %(b)s "%(f)s" "%(a)s" %({x-request-id}i)s'
