Class SLF4JSegmentListener

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    SegmentListener

    public class SLF4JSegmentListener
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements SegmentListener
    Implementation of SegmentListener that's used for Trace ID injection into logs that are recorded using the SLF4J frontend API. To inject the X-Ray trace ID into your logging events, insert %X{AWS-XRAY-TRACE-ID} wherever you feel comfortable in the PatternLayout of your logging events. For applications that use the Logback backend for SLF4J (the default implementation), refer to the Logback layouts documentation for how to do this. For applications using Log4J as their backend, refer to the Log4j configuration documentation.

      • onSetEntity

        public void onSetEntity​(Entity oldEntity,
                                Entity newEntity)
        Maps the AWS-XRAY-TRACE-ID key to the trace ID of the entity that's just been created in the MDC. Does not perform injection if entity is not available or not sampled, since then the given entity would not be displayed in X-Ray console.
        Specified by:
        onSetEntity in interface SegmentListener
        Parameters:
        oldEntity - the previous entity or null
        newEntity - the new entity, either a subsegment or segment
      • onClearEntity

        public void onClearEntity​(Entity entity)
        Removes the AWS-XRAY-TRACE-ID key from the MDC upon the completion of each segment.
        Specified by:
        onClearEntity in interface SegmentListener
        Parameters:
        entity - The segment that has just ended
