OpenTelemetry Propagator AWS X-Ray-Lambda
Note: This is an experimental package under active development. New releases may include breaking changes.
The OpenTelemetry Propagator for AWS X-Ray Lambda provides propagation based on the X-Ray _X_AMZN_TRACE_ID environment
variable in addition to the AWS X-Ray HTTP headers. This propagator should be used only for an AWS Lambda instrumentation.
Usage
The preferred method for using this propagator is by using the OTEL_PROPAGATORS environment variable. For more details,
see the semantic conventions specification for AWS Lambda.
Propagator Details
The propagator extracts context from the _X_AMZN_TRACE_ID environment variable, except when there is already another
context active. It also automatically uses the AWS X-Ray propagator.
