start-trace-retrieval

Description

Initiates a trace retrieval process using the specified time range and for the give trace IDs on Transaction Search generated by the CloudWatch log group. For more information, see Transaction Search .

API returns a RetrievalToken , which can be used with ListRetrievedTraces or GetRetrievedTracesGraph to fetch results. Retrievals will time out after 60 minutes. To execute long time ranges, consider segmenting into multiple retrievals.

If you are using CloudWatch cross-account observability , you can use this operation in a monitoring account to retrieve data from a linked source account, as long as both accounts have transaction search enabled.

For retrieving data from X-Ray directly as opposed to the Transaction-Search Log group, see BatchGetTraces .

Options

--trace-ids (list)

Specify the trace IDs of the traces to be retrieved.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--start-time (timestamp)

The start of the time range to retrieve traces. The range is inclusive, so the specified start time is included in the query. Specified as epoch time, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

--end-time (timestamp)

The end of the time range to retrieve traces. The range is inclusive, so the specified end time is included in the query. Specified as epoch time, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

RetrievalToken -> (string)

Retrieval token.
