Advanced tools
OpenTelemetry AWS Xray propagator provides context propagation for systems that are using AWS X-Ray format.
@opentelemetry/propagator-aws-xray is an npm package that provides context propagation for AWS X-Ray within the OpenTelemetry framework. It allows you to propagate trace context in a format compatible with AWS X-Ray, enabling distributed tracing across services that use AWS X-Ray.
AWS X-Ray Trace Context Propagation
This feature allows you to register the AWS X-Ray propagator with the OpenTelemetry Node.js TracerProvider. This enables the propagation of trace context in a format compatible with AWS X-Ray, facilitating distributed tracing across services.
const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');
const { AwsXRayPropagator } = require('@opentelemetry/propagator-aws-xray');
const { registerInstrumentations } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation');
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
provider.register({
propagator: new AwsXRayPropagator(),
});
registerInstrumentations({
tracerProvider: provider,
});
console.log('AWS X-Ray Propagator registered with OpenTelemetry');@opentelemetry/propagator-b3 is an npm package that provides context propagation using the B3 format. B3 is a set of HTTP headers used for distributed tracing, originally created by Twitter. It is commonly used with Zipkin. This package is similar to @opentelemetry/propagator-aws-xray in that it provides a way to propagate trace context, but it uses the B3 format instead of the AWS X-Ray format.
@opentelemetry/propagator-jaeger is an npm package that provides context propagation using the Jaeger format. Jaeger is an open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing tool. This package is similar to @opentelemetry/propagator-aws-xray in that it provides a way to propagate trace context, but it uses the Jaeger format instead of the AWS X-Ray format.
@opentelemetry/propagator-ot-trace is an npm package that provides context propagation using the OpenTracing format. OpenTracing is a set of consistent, expressive, vendor-neutral APIs for distributed tracing. This package is similar to @opentelemetry/propagator-aws-xray in that it provides a way to propagate trace context, but it uses the OpenTracing format instead of the AWS X-Ray format.
The OpenTelemetry Propagator for AWS X-Ray provides HTTP header propagation for systems that are using AWS X-Amzn-Trace-Id format.
This propagator translates the OpenTelemetry SpanContext into the equivalent AWS header format, for use with the OpenTelemetry JS SDK.
TraceState is currently not propagated.
npm install --save @opentelemetry/propagator-aws-xray
In the global tracer configuration file, configure the following:
const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');
const { AWSXRayPropagator } = require('@opentelemetry/propagator-aws-xray');
// ...
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
// Set the global trace context propagator to use X-Ray formatted trace header
provider.register({
propagator: new AWSXRayPropagator()
});
Example header:X-Amzn-Trace-Id: Root=1-5759e988-bd862e3fe1be46a994272793;Parent=53995c3f42cd8ad8;Sampled=1
The header consists of three parts: the root trace ID, the parent ID and the sampling decision.
Root is analogous to the OpenTelemetry Trace ID, with some small format changes. For additional reading, see the AWS X-Ray Trace ID public documentation.
