Struggling to connect the dots - ADOT with Lambda using aws-otel-nodejs Lambda layer, not sure how to go from here to using custom instrumentation (e.g. instrumentation-pg, instrumentation-graphql, etc).

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/OpenTelemetry

    AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry JavaScript SDK

  • I've also checked out this sample project / instrumentation, but comparing this to the description in the article I linked to above leaves me even more confused. For example, in the article linked above it says In order to send trace data to AWS X-Ray via the ADOT Collector, you must configure the X-Ray ID generator, X-Ray propagator, and collector gRPC exporter on the global tracer provider., but in the sample app there is no mention of / use of OTLPTraceExporter. So it's not clear to me if the article is missing something, or the sample code is missing something, etc, etc.

  • opentelemetry-lambda

    Create your own Lambda Layer in each OTel language using this starter code. Add the Lambda Layer to your Lamdba Function to get tracing with OpenTelemetry.

  • Sorry you're having trouble working with the ADOT Lambda Layers :(. Have you had a chance to open an issue on the GitHub repo for OTel Lambda or ADOT Lambda? You should add your expected vs your actual output!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
