AWS step function distributed tracing

mdouds — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 08:36:11 GMT

Hi, is it possible to show distributed traces through AWS Step Functions? If not, does Dynatrace have any plans to support it?

We already pull the Step Function Cloudwatch metrics which is nice but we are looking for tracing like what Datadog and AWS X-Ray provide.

as you mentioned you are already pulling the step functions via the extension: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-cloud-platforms/amazon-web-services/amazon-web-services-integrations/aws-service-metrics/step-functions

If you are looking to get more like tracing I recommend putting in a RFE for extension enhancement.

We have the same usecase, We are very much waiting for support of Dynatrace supporting AWS step function ,already we are ingesting metrics but seeing end-to-end trace is our top priority.

We have the same need, did anyone do an RFE yet? I will make one if not.
