Redis Support via Lambda

[adwaitkaley]

I want to trace the ElasticCache performance from my lambda function, could not find a capture reference for redis in the documentation. Is it supported ?

Sorry for the late response. The SDK currently doesn't officially support any Redis client. You can check this #28 and add any further comment for your use case.

Depending on which client you are using you might still be able to capture the cache get latency by using general captureAsync or captureCallback functions.

If you need further help, please let us know the client and the function you want to capture so we can take a further look.

Closing this, but we are happy to reopen if you have further questions!

@willarmiros can this be re-opened as a Feature Request?

[willarmiros]

Sure. Related to: aws/aws-xray-sdk-python#194

[udlose]

It would be great if this were added to the .NET Core SDK as well!

FWIW, the AWS managed Lambda layer for AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry has support for Node-Redis 2 and 3 and can publish traces to Xray:
