Sample - Send AWS X-Ray Traces locally with NodeJS

Starting the X-Ray Daemon

Install the AWS X-Ray daemon as documented here.

Run the X-Ray daemon using the following arguments:

$ ./xray -b 0.0.0.0:2000 -t 0.0.0.0:2000 -o -l dev -n <your region>

Testing X-Ray traces via NodeJS

Ensure that you have an IAM environment that allows sending to X-Ray. Configure via the AWS CLI by running aws configure.

Run the test as follows:

$ npm i
$ npm run test
