Start Trace Retrieval

xray_start_trace_retrieval

R Documentation

Initiates a trace retrieval process using the specified time range and for the give trace IDs on Transaction Search generated by the CloudWatch log group

Description

Initiates a trace retrieval process using the specified time range and for the give trace IDs on Transaction Search generated by the CloudWatch log group. For more information, see Transaction Search.

API returns a RetrievalToken, which can be used with list_retrieved_traces or get_retrieved_traces_graph to fetch results. Retrievals will time out after 60 minutes. To execute long time ranges, consider segmenting into multiple retrievals.

If you are using CloudWatch cross-account observability, you can use this operation in a monitoring account to retrieve data from a linked source account, as long as both accounts have transaction search enabled.

For retrieving data from X-Ray directly as opposed to the Transaction-Search Log group, see batch_get_traces.

Usage

xray_start_trace_retrieval(TraceIds, StartTime, EndTime)

Arguments

TraceIds

[required] Specify the trace IDs of the traces to be retrieved.

StartTime

[required] The start of the time range to retrieve traces. The range is inclusive, so the specified start time is included in the query. Specified as epoch time, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

EndTime

[required] The end of the time range to retrieve traces. The range is inclusive, so the specified end time is included in the query. Specified as epoch time, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  RetrievalToken = "string"
)

Request syntax

svc$start_trace_retrieval(
  TraceIds = list(
    "string"
  ),
  StartTime = as.POSIXct(
    "2015-01-01"
  ),
  EndTime = as.POSIXct(
    "2015-01-01"
  )
)
