Serverless Console SDK

Use case

Environment agnostic Serverless Console instrumentation functions for Node.js applications.

This library is safe to use without side-effects in any Node.js applications. It becomes effective once (one of the listed below) environment specific SDK is loaded on top.

Environment extensions

• AWS Lambda - @serverless/aws-lambda-sdk

Installation

npm install @serverless/sdk

Usage

CJS:

const serverlessSdk = require('@serverless/sdk');

// ...
const customTraceSpan = serverlessSdk.createTraceSpan('custom.tracespan');
// ...
customTraceSpan.close();

ESM:

import serverlessSdk from '@serverless/sdk';

// ...
const customTraceSpan = serverlessSdk.createTraceSpan('custom.tracespan');
// ...
customTraceSpan.close();

Setup

1. Register with Serverless Console

2. Initialize and setup SDK specific to your enviroment

SLS_TRACE_MAX_CAPTURED_BODY_SIZE_KB (or options.traceMaxCapturedBodySizeKb)

In dev mode, HTTP request and response bodies are stored as tags. To avoid performance issues, bodies that extend 10 000KB in size are not exposed. This default can be overridden with this settin
