AWS X-Ray announces support for logging eight new data and one new management event APIs in AWS CloudTrail, enabling you to have full visibility across every AWS X-Ray API action in your AWS account for operational and security best practices. AWS X-Ray provides developers with end-to-end tracing capabilities to help debug distributed applications and quickly identify performance bottlenecks.

With today's launch, you can now capture all AWS X-Ray API activity for data and management events in AWS CloudTrail, such as data events from PutTraceSegments, GetTraceSummaries, and management events from GetSamplingStatisticSummaries. Using the information that AWS CloudTrail collects, you can identify specific actions that send data to X-Ray or read from X-Ray. Logging AWS X-Ray API actions by using AWS CloudTrail helps enable auditing, governance, and compliance of your AWS accounts.

AWS CloudTrail logging for X-Ray is now available in all AWS Regions where AWS X-Ray is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet) region, and China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD) region.
