Lambda functions should have X-Ray tracing enabled

Property Value
Language terraform
Severity low
Service lambda
Provider AWS

Description

The Lambda function is configured without AWS X-Ray tracing enabled, preventing the collection of detailed execution traces. This limits visibility into the function’s performance, execution flow, and potential issues such as bottlenecks or timeouts.

Impact

Without X-Ray tracing, it becomes difficult to diagnose and resolve errors or performance problems in Lambda functions. This lack of observability can delay incident response, obscure root causes, and allow operational issues to go undetected, increasing the risk of prolonged outages or undiagnosed failures.

Resolution
