AWS Lambda Tracing
Learn how to set up highlight.io tracing for on AWS Lambda.
1
Setup your frontend Highlight snippet with tracingOrigins.
Make sure that you followed the fullstack mapping guide.
H.init("<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", {
tracingOrigins: ['localhost', 'example.myapp.com/backend'],
networkRecording: {
enabled: true,
recordHeadersAndBody: true,
},
});
2
Install the highlight-io python package.
Download the package from pypi and save it to your requirements. If you use a zip or s3 file upload to publish your function, you will want to make sure highlight-io is part of the build.
poetry add highlight-io# or with pip
pip install highlight-io3
Initialize the Highlight SDK.
Setup the SDK. Add the @observe_handler decorator to your lambdas.
import highlight_io
from highlight_io.integrations.aws import observe_handler
# `instrument_logging=True` sets up logging instrumentation.
# if you do not want to send logs or are using `loguru`, pass `instrument_logging=False`
H = highlight_io.H(
"<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>",
instrument_logging=True,
service_name="my-app",
service_version="git-sha",
environment="production",
)
@observe_handler
def lambda_handler(event, context):
return {
"statusCode": 200,
"body": f"Hello, {name}. This HTTP triggered function executed successfully.",
}
4
Hit your Lambda function.
Setup an HTTP trigger and visiting your Lambda on the internet.
5
Verify your backend traces are being recorded.
Visit the highlight traces portal and check that backend traces are coming in.
