AWS::XRay::SamplingRule

Use the AWS::XRay::SamplingRule resource to specify a sampling rule, which controls sampling behavior for instrumented applications. Include a SamplingRule entity to create or update a sampling rule.

Note

SamplingRule.Version can only be set when creating a sampling rule. Updating the version will cause the update to fail.

Services retrieve rules with GetSamplingRules, and evaluate each rule in ascending order of priority for each request. If a rule matches, the service records a trace, borrowing it from the reservoir size. After 10 seconds, the service reports back to X-Ray with GetSamplingTargets to get updated versions of each in-use rule. The updated rule contains a trace quota that the service can use instead of borrowing from the reservoir.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::XRay::SamplingRule",
  "Properties" : {
      "SamplingRule" : SamplingRule,
      "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ]
    }
}

YAML

Type: AWS::XRay::SamplingRule
Properties:
  SamplingRule: 
    SamplingRule
  Tags: 
    - Tag

Properties

SamplingRule

The sampling rule to be created or updated.

Required: No

Type: SamplingRule

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

An array of key-value pairs to apply to this resource.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the sampling rule.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.

RuleARN

The sampling rule ARN that was created or updated.

Examples

Create sampling rule

This example creates a new sampling rule called MySamplingRule.
