GetTraceSegmentDestination

Source: src/AWS/XRay/GetTraceSegmentDestination.ts

Retrieve the current destination (X-Ray or CloudWatch Logs) of data sent to PutTraceSegments and the OTLP endpoint. Transaction Search trace retrieval requires a CloudWatch Logs destination.

Bind the operation in the function’s init phase to get a runtime callable; provide the implementation with Effect.provide(XRay.GetTraceSegmentDestinationHttp). The action is account-scoped: X-Ray does not support resource-level permissions for xray:GetTraceSegmentDestination, so the binding grants it on *.

Section titled “Transaction Search”
import * as XRay from "alchemy/AWS/XRay";


// init — grants xray:GetTraceSegmentDestination
const getTraceSegmentDestination =
  yield* XRay.GetTraceSegmentDestination();


// runtime
const destination = yield* getTraceSegmentDestination();
const isTransactionSearch = destination.Destination === "CloudWatchLogs";
