AWS Lambda automatic instrumentation (Auto Tracing)

By using Lumigo lambda layer our auto-tracing feature automatically adds the Lumigo tracer to your functions, instrumenting your entire code base, without changing a single line of code.

📘

Supported Runtimes

Auto-tracing is supported in the following runtimes:

• Python - 3.6 and above
• NodeJS - 10.x and above

Auto-tracing will not be available if your runtime is not supported, but you can still receive the same benefits of Lumigo through manually instrumenting your functions.

You can easily add auto-tracing to any supported function runtime from your Lumigo Dasard:

• Go to “Functions” page
• Select the functions you wish to trace
• Click the “Auto trace”

You can also trace individual functions using the trace toggle.

You can add auto-tracing to any supported function runtime by flagging them using AWS Tags. To do so:

• Open the configuration for your AWS Tags
• Create the tag lumigo:auto-trace and set the value to true
• Apply the tag to your Lambda function
• Wait 15-20 minutes for the changes to propagate

Lumigo will now automatically report statistics on your Lambda function!

Removing Auto-Tracing with AWS Tags
Removing auto-tracing with Tags is as straightforward as adding the tags to your function.

• Open your tag configuration in the AWS Dasard
• Remove the tag from your auto-instrumented Lambda function
• Wait 15-20 minutes for changes to propagate

Lumigo will automatically stop reporting statistics on the function.

You can also set the tag value of lumigo:auto-trace to false to disable all Lumigo auto-tracing activity from AWS Tagging.

Advanced Settings

The advanced settings are available in Settings > Monitoring & Tracing. Use these when working with advanced configurations, such as when incorporating a pinned tracer version or using advanced print settings.
