Overview

Configuring the Lumigo tracer for Go Lambda functions consists of two steps: installation and wrapping your code.

Supported runtimes: go1.x

Installation

Lumigo GO tracer can be installed like any other Go library through go get:

$ go get github.com/lumigo-io/[email protected]

Or, if you are already using Go Modules, you may specify a version number as well:

$ go get github.com/lumigo-io/[email protected]

Configure Your Environment

Add AWS Lambda Layer:

arn:aws:lambda:<your-region>:114300393969:layer:lumigo-tracer-extension:38

Add Environment variable:

Key	Value
LUMIGO_USE_TRACER_EXTENSION	true

Wrapping Your Lambda

You need a Lumigo token which you can find under the Project Settings in the Lumigo platform. Then you need to wrap your Lambda:

import (
        ...
        lumigotracer "github.com/lumigo-io/lumigo-go-tracer"
        os
)

...

func main() {
   wrappedHandler := lumigotracer.WrapHandler(Handler, &lumigotracer.Config{})
   lambda.Start(wrappedHandler)
}

Finally, set your Lumigo token as the LUMIGO_TRACER_TOKEN environment variable of your Lambda function; refer to the Using AWS Lambda environment variables documentation for more information. Your Lumigo token is available in Settings -> Tracing -> Manual tracing.

We advise you to use the most secure available to you to store secrets such as your LUMIGO_TRACER_TOKEN; additionally, AWS provides integrations for AWS Key Management Service that keep the values of your Lambda environment variables secure.

Then the wrapping will look like this:

import (
        ...
        lumigotracer "github.com/lumigo-io/lumigo-go-tracer"
)

...

func main() {
   wrappedHandler := lumigotracer.WrapHandler(Handler, &lumigotracer.Config{})
   lambda.Start(wrappedHandler)
}

Track HTTP Requests `Beta`

For tracing AWS SDK v2.0 calls check the following example:

client := &http.Client{
    Transport: lumigotracer.NewTransport(http.DefaultTransport),
  }

  // for AWS SDK v1.x
  sess := session.Must(session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
    HTTPClient: client,
  }))

  svc := s3.New(sess)
  
  // for AWS SDK v2.x
  cfg, _ := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.Background(), config.WithHTTPClient(client))
    svc := s3.NewFromConfig(cfg)

For tracing HTTP calls check the following example:

client := &http.Client{
    Transport: lumigotracer.NewTransport(http.DefaultTransport),
  }
    req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://<your-url>", nil)

  // for net/http
    res, err := client.Do(req)

  // for golang.org/x/net/context/ctxhttp
    res, err := ctxhttp.Do(context.Background(), client, req)
