Is it possible to instrument http/https/fetch captures from a ReactJS client? #691

Seems a gap in that XRay offers a great trace service but is limited to lambda invocation tracing only. Unless I am missing some guidance. I read about http/https/fetch tracing but there does not appear to be support for capturing these requests from a ReactJs client (outside of a lambda). I am trying to correlate potentially multiple lambda or AWS sdk client calls made from a react client

Thanks for answering community

React web client is supported by OpenTelemetry SDK and X-Ray encourage their customers movin to OTel SDK as well. For lambda support with X-Ray & OTel.

@mxiamxia any reason you didn't recommend https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-rum-web which has support for XRay tracing? Seems alot less effort to rollout in a react client than opentelemetry
