aws_xray_sdk.core.async_context module

class aws_xray_sdk.core.async_context.AsyncContext(*args, loop=None, use_task_factory=True, **kwargs)

Bases: Context

Async Context for storing segments.

Inherits nearly everything from the main Context class. Replaces threading.local with a task based local storage class, Also overrides clear_trace_entities

clear_trace_entities()

Clear all trace_entities stored in the task local context.

class aws_xray_sdk.core.async_context.TaskLocalStorage(loop=None)

Bases: object

Simple task local storage

clear()
aws_xray_sdk.core.async_context.task_factory(loop, coro)

Task factory function

Fuction closely mirrors the logic inside of asyncio.BaseEventLoop.create_task. Then if there is a current task and the current task has a context then share that context with the new task

aws_xray_sdk.core.async_recorder module

class aws_xray_sdk.core.async_recorder.AsyncAWSXRayRecorder

Bases: AWSXRayRecorder

capture_async(name=None)

A decorator that records enclosed function in a subsegment. It only works with asynchronous functions.

params str name: The name of the subsegment. If not specified the function name will be used.

in_segment_async(name=None, **segment_kwargs)

Return a segment async context manger.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – the name of the segment

  • segment_kwargs (dict) – remaining arguments passed directly to begin_segment

in_subsegment_async(name=None, **subsegment_kwargs)

Return a subsegment async context manger.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – the name of the segment

  • segment_kwargs (dict) – remaining arguments passed directly to begin_segment

async record_subsegment_async(wrapped, instance, args, kwargs, name, namespace, meta_processor)
class aws_xray_sdk.core.async_recorder.AsyncSegmentContextManager(recorder, name=None, **segment_kwargs)

Bases: SegmentContextManager

class aws_xray_sdk.core.async_recorder.AsyncSubsegmentContextManager(recorder, name=None, **subsegment_kwargs)

Bases: SubsegmentContextManager

aws_xray_sdk.core.context module

class aws_xray_sdk.core.context.Context(context_missing='RUNTIME_ERROR')

Bases: object

The context storage class to store trace entities(segments/subsegments). The default implementation uses threadlocal to store these entities. It also provides interfaces to manually inject trace entities which will replace the current stored entities and to clean up the storage.

For any data access or data mutation, if there is no active segment present if will use user-defined behavior to handle such case. By default it throws an runtime error.

This data structure is thread-safe.

clear_trace_entities()

clear all trace_entities stored in the local context. In case of using threadlocal to store trace entites, it will clean up all trace entities created by the current thread.

property context_missing
end_segment(end_time=None)

End the current active segment.

Parameters:

end_time (int) – epoch in seconds. If not specified the current system time will be used.

end_subsegment(end_time=None)

End the current active segment. Return False if there is no subsegment to end.

Parameters:

end_time (int) – epoch in seconds. If not specified the current system time will be used.

get_trace_entity()

Return the current trace entity(segment/subsegment). If there is none, it behaves based on pre-defined context_missing strategy. If the SDK is disabled, returns a DummySegment

handle_context_missing()

Called whenever there is no trace entity to access or mutate.

put_segment(segment)

Store the segment created by xray_recorder to the context. It overrides the current segment if there is already one.

put_subsegment(subsegment)

Store the subsegment created by xray_recorder to the context. If you put a new subsegment while there is already an open subsegment, the new subsegment becomes the child of the existing subsegment.

set_trace_entity(trace_entity)

Store the input trace_entity to local context. It will overwrite all existing ones if there is any.

aws_xray_sdk.core.daemon_config module

class aws_xray_sdk.core.daemon_config.DaemonConfig(daemon_address='127.0.0.1:2000')

Bases: object

The class that stores X-Ray daemon configuration about the ip address and port for UDP and TCP port. It gets the address string from AWS_TRACING_DAEMON_ADDRESS and then from recorder’s configuration for daemon_address. A notation of ‘127.0.0.1:2000’ or ‘tcp:127.0.0.1:2000 udp:127.0.0.2:2001’ are both acceptable. The former one means UDP and TCP are running at the same address. By default it assumes a X-Ray daemon running at 127.0.0.1:2000 listening to both UDP and TCP traffic.

property tcp_ip
property tcp_port
property udp_ip
property udp_port

aws_xray_sdk.core.lambda_launcher module

class aws_xray_sdk.core.lambda_launcher.LambdaContext

Bases: Context

Lambda service will generate a segment for each function invocation which cannot be mutated. The context doesn’t keep any manually created segment but instead every time get_trace_entity() gets called it refresh the facade segment based on environment variables set by Lambda worker.

property context_missing
end_segment(end_time=None)

No-op.

get_trace_entity()

Return the current trace entity(segment/subsegment). If there is none, it behaves based on pre-defined context_missing strategy. If the SDK is disabled, returns a DummySegment

handle_context_missing()

No-op.

put_segment(segment)

No-op.

put_subsegment(subsegment)

Refresh the facade segment every time this function is invoked to prevent a new subsegment from being attached to a leaked segment/subsegment.

aws_xray_sdk.core.lambda_launcher.check_in_lambda()

Return None if SDK is not loaded in AWS Lambda worker. Otherwise drop a touch file and return a lambda context.

aws_xray_sdk.core.patcher module

aws_xray_sdk.core.patcher.patch(modules_to_patch, raise_errors=True, ignore_module_patterns=None)
aws_xray_sdk.core.patcher.patch_all(double_patch=False)

aws_xray_sdk.core.recorder module

class aws_xray_sdk.core.recorder.AWSXRayRecorder

Bases: object

A global AWS X-Ray recorder that will begin/end segments/subsegments and send them to the X-Ray daemon. This recorder is initialized during loading time so you can use:

from aws_xray_sdk.core import xray_recorder

in your module to access it

begin_segment(name=None, traceid=None, parent_id=None, sampling=None)

Begin a segment on the current thread and return it. The recorder only keeps one segment at a time. Create the second one without closing existing one will overwrite it.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – the name of the segment

  • traceid (str) – trace id of the segment

  • sampling (int) – 0 means not sampled, 1 means sampled

begin_subsegment(name, namespace='local')

Begin a new subsegment. If there is open subsegment, the newly created subsegment will be the child of latest opened subsegment. If not, it will be the child of the current open segment.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – the name of the subsegment.

  • namespace (str) – currently can only be ‘local’, ‘remote’, ‘aws’.

capture(name=None)

A decorator that records enclosed function in a subsegment. It only works with synchronous functions.

params str name: The name of the subsegment. If not specified the function name will be used.

clear_trace_entities()

A pass through method to context.clear_trace_entities().

configure(sampling=None, plugins=None, context_missing=None, sampling_rules=None, daemon_address=None, service=None, context=None, emitter=None, streaming=None, dynamic_naming=None, streaming_threshold=None, max_trace_back=None, sampler=None, stream_sql=True)

Configure global X-Ray recorder.

Configure needs to run before patching thrid party libraries to avoid creating dangling subsegment. :param bool sampling: If sampling is enabled, every time the recorder

creates a segment it decides whether to send this segment to the X-Ray daemon. This setting is not used if the recorder is running in AWS Lambda. The recorder always respect the incoming sampling decisions regardless of this setting.

Parameters:

  • sampling_rules – Pass a set of local custom sampling rules. Can be an absolute path of the sampling rule config json file or a dictionary that defines those rules. This will also be the fallback rules in case of centralized sampling opted-in while the cetralized sampling rules are not available.

  • sampler – The sampler used to make sampling decisions. The SDK provides two built-in samplers. One is centralized rules based and the other is local rules based. The former is the default.

  • plugins (tuple) – plugins that add extra metadata to each segment. Currently available plugins are EC2Plugin, ECS plugin and ElasticBeanstalkPlugin. If you want to disable all previously enabled plugins, pass an empty tuple ().

  • context_missing (str) – recorder behavior when it tries to mutate a segment or add a subsegment but there is no active segment. RUNTIME_ERROR means the recorder will raise an exception. LOG_ERROR means the recorder will only log the error and do nothing.

  • daemon_address (str) – The X-Ray daemon address where the recorder sends data to.

  • service (str) – default segment name if creating a segment without providing a name.

  • context – You can pass your own implementation of context storage for active segment/subsegment by overriding the default Context class.

  • emitter – The emitter that sends a segment/subsegment to the X-Ray daemon. You can override UDPEmitter class.

  • dynamic_naming – a string that defines a pattern that host names should match. Alternatively you can pass a module which overrides DefaultDynamicNaming module.

  • streaming – The streaming module to stream out trace documents when they grow too large. You can override DefaultStreaming class to have your own implementation of the streaming process.

  • streaming_threshold – If breaks within a single segment it will start streaming out children subsegments. By default it is the maximum number of subsegments within a segment.

  • max_trace_back (int) – The maxinum number of stack traces recorded by auto-capture. Lower this if a single document becomes too large.

  • stream_sql (bool) – Whether SQL query texts should be streamed.

Environment variables AWS_XRAY_DAEMON_ADDRESS, AWS_XRAY_CONTEXT_MISSING and AWS_XRAY_TRACING_NAME respectively overrides arguments daemon_address, context_missing and service.
