| 11 | +This document covers how to install and configure OpenTelemetry distributed tracing for AWS Lambda functions based on .NET and send the data to Sumo Logic. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +To obtain tracing data from AWS Lambda functions developed in .NET, you can use the following components |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### Provided SDK |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +[OpenTelemetry Lambda SDK for .NET](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib/tree/main/src/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AWSLambda) includes tracing APIs to instrument Lambda handlers and is provided on [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AWSLambda). |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### OpenTelemetry Lambda layer |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +[OpenTelemetry Lambda Layer for Collector](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda/tree/main/collector#opentelemetry-collector-aws-lambda-extension-layer) includes OpenTelemetry Collector for Lambda components. Apply this layer to your Lambda handler that's already been instrumented with the OpenTelemetry Lambda .NET SDK to enable end-to-end tracing. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +#### .NET Lambda layer supports |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +* .NET 6 SDK or later |
| 26 | +* x86_64 and arm64 architectures |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Lambda function requirements |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +You'll need the following: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +* .NET 6 SDK or later |
| 33 | +* Lambda layers add permissions |
| 34 | +* Sumo Logic OTLP/HTTP Source endpoint URL - To send spans from the instrumented Lambda function to Sumo Logic you need an endpoint URL from an existing or new [OTLP/HTTP source](/docs/send-data/hosted-collectors/http-source/otlp). |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +```text |

| 41 | +└─────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────┘ └─────────────┘ |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Quick Start |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +### Prerequisites |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +* AWS CLI configured with appropriate permissions |
| 49 | +* Configure the [AWS credential](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-files.html) |
| 50 | +* .NET 6 SDK |
| 51 | +* Sumo Logic OTLP endpoint URL |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Build your OpenTelemetry Collector Lambda layer |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +At the moment users have to build Collector Lambda layer by themselves, we will provide sharing Lambda layer in the future. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +* Download a local copy of the [opentelemetry-lambda repository from Github](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda). |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +* Configure the collector layer to send data to SumoLogic: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + ```yaml |
| 62 | + receivers: |
| 63 | + otlp: |
| 64 | + protocols: |
| 65 | + grpc: |
| 66 | + endpoint: localhost:4317 |
| 67 | + http: |
| 68 | + endpoint: localhost:4318 |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + exporters: |
| 71 | + otlphttp: |
| 72 | + endpoint: ${SUMO_LOGIC_OTLP_ENDPOINT} |
| 73 | + headers: |
| 74 | + Content-Type: application/x-protobuf |
| 75 | + encoding: proto |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + service: |
| 78 | + pipelines: |
| 79 | + traces: |
| 80 | + receivers: [otlp] |
| 81 | + exporters: [otlphttp] |
| 82 | + ``` |
| 83 | +
|
| 84 | + Set the following environment variables: |
| 85 | +
|
| 86 | + | Variable | Value | Purpose | |
| 87 | + |----------|-------|---------| |
| 88 | + | `SUMO_LOGIC_OTLP_ENDPOINT` | `https://your-endpoint.sumologic.net/receiver/v1/otlp/YOUR_TOKEN/v1/traces` | Sumo Logic endpoint | |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +* Run command: `cd collector && make publish-layer` to publish OpenTelemetry Collector Lambda layer in your AWS account and get its ARN |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### Configure the lambda function |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +Navigate to [functions](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/home#/functions) in the AWS Lambda Console and open the function you want to instrument. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +* Navigate to the **Layers** section and click **Add a layer**. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +* In the **Choose a layer** menu, select **Specify an ARN** and paste the ARN ID for your Lambda function AWS Region |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +## Environment Variables |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +Set the following environment variables: |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +| Variable | Value | Purpose | |
| 105 | +|----------|-------|---------| |
| 106 | +| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` | `localhost:4318` | Collector endpoint | |
| 107 | +| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL` | `http/protobuf` | Export protocol | |
| 108 | +| `AWS_LAMBDA_EXEC_WRAPPER` | `/opt/otel-instrument` | Lambda wrapper | |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +Your function should be successfully instrumented. Invoke the function and find your traces in the [Sumo Logic Tracing screen](/docs/apm/traces/view-and-investigate-traces) |
