AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry JavaScript Sample App (DEPRECATED)

WARNING: This sample app is deprecated and is no longer maintained. Please use the new standardized sample apps.

A simple HTTP server that demonstrates OpenTelemetry instrumentation for JavaScript apps.

Prerequisites

NPM and Node.js installed.
ADOT Collector running in your environment

Getting Started

Run the following commands to start the sample app:

git clone https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-js.git
cd aws-otel-js/sample-apps
npm install
LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:8080 node server.js

Using the sample app

The sample app exposes the following routes. Visit them in your browser, then go to the AWS X-Ray console to see the traces they generate.

localhost:8080/ - healthcheck endpoint, generates a single span
localhost:8080/aws-sdk-call - Makes a traced request with the AWS SDK
localhost:8080/outgoing-http-call - Makes a traced downstream HTTP request
