OpenTelemetry Propagator for AWS X-Ray Service
==============================================
|pypi|
.. |pypi| image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray.svg
:target: https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray/
This library provides the propagator necessary to inject or extract a tracing
context across AWS services.
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:
.. code-block:: python
from opentelemetry.propagate import set_global_textmap
from opentelemetry.propagators.aws import AwsXRayPropagator
set_global_textmap(AwsXRayPropagator())
