Retrieves a list of traces for a given
RetrievalToken from the CloudWatch log group generated by Transaction Search. For information on what each trace returns, see
BatchGetTraces.
This API does not initiate a retrieval process. To start a trace retrieval, use
StartTraceRetrieval, which generates the required
RetrievalToken.
When the
RetrievalStatus is not
COMPLETE, the API will return an empty response. Retry the request once the retrieval has completed to access the full list of traces.
For cross-account observability, this API can retrieve traces from linked accounts when CloudWatch log is set as the destination across relevant accounts. For more details, see
CloudWatch cross-account observability.
For retrieving data from X-Ray directly as opposed to the Transaction Search generated log group, see
BatchGetTraces.
This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.
