Enable XRAY on a lambda function using AWS Amplify

Question

What is the recommended way to do enable XRAY on a Lambda function using AWS Amplify?

• Edit the CloudFormation that Amplify generates?
• Use CDK somehow to edit the function after it's been deployed? How?
• Some other way?

Answer 1

Edit the CloudFormation that Amplify generates

1. Set TracingConfig's mode to 'Active` in the AWS::Lambda::Function.

2. Make sure your Lambda's role has permissions for X-Ray
