The library can be configured to support trace applications with the AWS X-Ray service. This enables all the features of the OpenTelemetry project and configures its components to create traces that can be viewed in the AWS X-Ray console and allow propagation of those contexts across multiple downstream AWS services. How it works OpenTelemetry is a project maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation which provides open source APIs, libraries, and agents to collect distributed traces and metrics for application monitoring. OpenTelemetry generates telemetry data, such as metrics and traces, for requests to the application. In addition, OpenTelemetry Python provides automatic tracing for many popular Python packages. These traces record parameters used, results, exceptions, and more in span attributes as it completes the traced task. Read more about standardized attributes on the OpenTelemetry Specification Semantic Conventions for traces. OpenTelemetry Python provides entry points for configuration through its API. This can be used to configure the ids generator needed to support the X-Ray trace ID format. It also allows the use of a custom propagator, passed into the tracer provider, to generate and propagate the AWS X-Ray trace header.
