aws-xray-sdk

Requirements

• AWS SDK v2.7.15 or greater (if using captureAWS or captureAWSClient)
• Express 4.14.0 or greater (if using Express and the associated X-Ray middleware)
• MySQL 2.12.0 or greater (if using captureMySQL)
• Postgres 6.1.0 or greater (if using capturePostgres)

AWS X-Ray

The AWS X-Ray SDK automatically records information for incoming and outgoing requests and responses (via middleware), as well as local data such as function calls, time, variables (via metadata and annotations), even EC2 instance data (via plugins).

Although the AWS X-Ray SDK was originally intended to capture request/response data on a web app, the SDK provides functionality for use cases outside this as well. The SDK exposes the 'Segment' and 'Subsegment' objects to create your own capturing mechanisms, middleware, etc.

This package includes the following AWS X-Ray packages.

aws-xray-sdk-core
aws-xray-sdk-express
aws-xray-sdk-postgres
aws-xray-sdk-mysql

Setup

The core package contains the base SDK functionality. Please see the aws-xray-sdk-core README.md for more details.

jaeger-client

Jaeger is an open-source end-to-end distributed tracing tool originally developed by Uber Technologies. The jaeger-client npm package allows you to instrument your Node.js applications to send trace data to a Jaeger backend. Unlike aws-xray-sdk, Jaeger is designed to work with the Jaeger tracing system and provides more flexibility in terms of deployment and configuration.
