opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray 1.0.2

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray

Usage (AWS X-Ray Propagator)

NOTE: Because the parent context extracted from the X-Amzn-Trace-Id header assumes the context is _not_ sampled by default, users should make sure to add Sampled=1 to their X-Amzn-Trace-Id headers so that the child spans are sampled.

Use the provided AWS X-Ray Propagator to inject the necessary context into traces sent to external systems.

This can be done by either setting this environment variable:

export OTEL_PROPAGATORS = xray

Or by setting this propagator in your instrumented application:

from opentelemetry.propagate import set_global_textmap
from opentelemetry.propagators.aws import AwsXRayPropagator

set_global_textmap(AwsXRayPropagator())
