Splunk OpenTelemetry Lambda is a downstream distribution of the OpenTelemetry Lambda. Supported OpenTelemetry Lambda layers are preconfigured to use Splunk Observability Cloud as the tracing backend. Users can enhance their existing Lambda functions by adding the Splunk-managed layer directly.
The following languages are currently supported:
- Java
- Python
- Node.js
Layer ARNs are published here.
For complete instructions on how to get started with the Splunk OpenTelemetry Lambda, see Instrument AWS Lambda functions for Splunk Observability Cloud in the official documentation.
If you're using the SignalFx Tracing Library for Node and want to migrate to the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Node, see Migrate from SignalFx Lambda wrappers to Splunk OpenTelemetry Lambda Layer in the official documentation.
For Lambda functions that need more visibility than automatic instrumentation provides, see Manually instrument heavy Lambda workloads.
To keep the Splunk Observability Cloud access token out of Lambda environment variables when using the local Collector, see Using AWS Secrets Manager with the OpenTelemetry Collector Lambda Extension.
