How to get the cloud foundry app instance's guid?

Question

The Cloud Foundry App /stats api (/v2/apps/:guid/stats) gives the details of each Instance of the CF App.

But it only gives the Instance Index (eg: "0", "1", "2" etc)

CF App Stats API:http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/222/apps/get_detailed_stats_for_a_started_app.html

GET on https://api.ng.bluemix.net/v2/apps/<app-guid>/stats

Sample response:

Since each Application instance lives inside a Warden container, is there a way to get the CF App Instance Id (container-guid)?

Answer 1

The accepted answer is now out-of-date.

Cloud Foundry now exposes instance GUID via CF_INSTANCE_GUID.
