listRetrievedTraces

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.
