It allows traces initiated in one AWS service to be correctly linked to downstream services by injecting and extracting tracing context in the format X-Ray expects.\n\nThe propagator integrates with OpenTelemetry's global propagation system, either via environment variable (OTEL_PROPAGATORS=xray) or by explicitly setting it in code. It is a thin adapter layer between OpenTelemetry's span context model and AWS X-Ray's header format, with no external dependencies beyond opentelemetry-api itself.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a production-stable, actively maintained library with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. Install it if you are using OpenTelemetry in an AWS environment and need X-Ray trace propagation. Note the documentation caveat: ensure X-Amzn-Trace-Id headers include Sampled=1 to enable child span sampling."},"id":"opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"AWS X-Ray Propagator for OpenTelemetry"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11953783,"position":1351,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.2"}
