AWS Lambda - Python function instrumentation
This document covers how to install and configure OpenTelemetry distributed tracing for AWS Lambda functions written in Python and send data to Sumo Logic. To obtain telemetry data from AWS Lambda functions developed in Python language you can use the Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Python Lambda.
Sumo Logic OTel Python Lambda layer supports:
- Python version between 3.7 and 3.10
- x86_64 and arm64 architectures
Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Lambda Layer
Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Lambda Layer version 1.17.0 provides packed OpenTelemetry Python libraries that automatically instrument Lambda functions. The biggest advantage of installing Sumo Logic OTel Lambda as a layer is disabling/enabling instrumentation of the Lambda function without changing the code.
