The AWS X-Ray daemon is a core software application that listens for traffic on UDP port 2000. It gathers raw segment data and relays it to the AWS X-Ray API. The daemon needs to work in conjunction with the AWS X-Ray SDKs and must be running so that the data sent by the SDKs can reach the X-Ray service. The X-Ray daemon is an open-source project that you can follow on GitHub. See more details of the AWS X-Ray daemon here.
Earlier I mentioned that this service works smoothly with distributed systems or microservices in general. This is a microservices-based project on nodejs that is available on GitHub that is provided by CloudAcademy. You can clone and do hands-on with X-Ray in a real microservices-based application.
