This is [`@lumigo/tracer`](https://), Lumigo's Node.js agent for distributed tracing and performance monitoring.

Supported NodeJS runtimes: 12.x, 14.x, 16.x, and 18.x

## Usage

The `@lumigo/tracer` package allows you to pursue automated metric gathering through Lambda Layers, automated metric gathering and instrumentation through the Serverless framework, or manual metric creation and implementation.

### With Lambda Layers

* When configuring your Lambda functions, include the appropriate Lambda Layer ARN [from these tables](https://github.com/lumigo-io/lumigo-node/blob/master/layers)

*Note* - Lambda Layers are an optional feature. If you decide to use this capability, the list of Lambda layers available is available [here.](https://github.com/lumigo-io/lumigo-node/blob/master/layers)

### With Serverless framework

* To configure the Serverless Framework to work with Lumigo, simply install our plugin: [**serverless-lumigo-plugin**](https://github.com/lumigo-io/serverless-lumigo-plugin/blob/master/README.md)

### Manually

To manually configure Lumigo in your Lambda functions:

* First, install the `@lumigo/tracer` package using your preferred package manager:

```bash
$ npm i @lumigo/tracer
# or
$ yarn add @lumigo/tracer
```

* Next, wrap your `handler` in Lumigo's `trace` function:

```javascript
// javascript
const lumigo = require('@lumigo/tracer')()

const myHandler = async (event, context, callback) => { ... }

exports.handler = lumigo.trace(myHandler)
```

```typescript
// typescript
import lumigo from '@lumigo/tracer';

const tracer = lumigo();

export const handler = tracer.trace(async (event, context) => {
...
});
```

#### Note

For Typescript users, you must add the following to your `tsconfig.json` file:

```json
{
...,
"esModuleInterop": true,
}
```

You can read more about it [here](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#esModuleInterop)

* Your function is now fully instrumented

## Connect Your Lumigo Account
Set your Lumigo token as the `LUMIGO_TRACER_TOKEN` environment variable of your Lambda function; refer to the [Using AWS Lambda environment variables](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-envvars.html) documentation for more information. Your Lumigo token is available in `Settings -> Tracing -> Lumigo Token for Tracing`, see the [Lumigo Tokens](https://docs.lumigo.io/docs/lumigo-tokens) documentation.

We advise you to store secrets such as your LUMIGO_TRACER_TOKEN securely; refer to AWS Lambda's [Securing environment variables](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-envvars.html#configuration-envvars-encryption) documentation for guidance on keeping the values of your Lambda environment variables secure.
## Configuration

`@lumigo/tracer` offers several different configuration options. Pass these to the Lambda function as environment variables:

* `LUMIGO_TRACER_TOKEN` - Your Lumigo token, used for authentication.
It can also be passed to the tracer as a parameter:
```javascript
const lumigo = require('@lumigo/tracer')({ token: 'YOUR-TOKEN-HERE' });
```
* `LUMIGO_DEBUG=TRUE` - Enables debug logging.
* `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX='["regex1", "regex2"]'` - Prevents Lumigo from sending keys that match the supplied regular expressions. All regular expressions are case-insensitive. By default, Lumigo applies the following regular expressions: `[".*pass.*", ".*key.*", ".*secret.*", ".*credential.*", ".*passphrase.*"]`.
* We support more granular masking using the following parameters. If not given, the above configuration is the fallback: `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX_HTTP_REQUEST_BODIES`, `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX_HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS`, `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX_HTTP_RESPONSE_BODIES`, `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX_HTTP_RESPONSE_HEADERS`, `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX_HTTP_QUERY_PARAMS`.
* `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_EXACT_PATH='["key1.key2", "key3.key4"]'` - Prevents Lumigo from sending keys that match the supplied path (we support nested fields). All paths are case-insensitive.
* `LUMIGO_DOMAINS_SCRUBBER='[".*secret.*"]'` - Prevents Lumigo from collecting both request and response details from a list of domains. This accepts a comma-separated list of regular expressions that is JSON-formatted. By default, the tracer uses `["secretsmanager\..*\.amazonaws\.com", "ssm\..*\.amazonaws\.com", "kms\..*\.amazonaws\.com"]`. **Note** - These defaults are overridden when you define a different list of regular expressions.
* `LUMIGO_PROPAGATE_W3C=TRUE` - Add W3C TraceContext headers to outgoing HTTP requests. This enables uninterrupted transactions with applications traced with OpenTelemetry.
* `LUMIGO_SWITCH_OFF=TRUE` - In the event a critical issue arises, this turns off all actions that Lumigo takes in response to your code. This happens without a deployment, and is picked up on the next function run once the environment variable is present.
* `LUMIGO_AUTO_TAG=key1.key2,key3` - Configure execution tags that will be driven directly from the event for the supplied key (we support nested fields).
* `LUMIGO_STEP_FUNCTION=TRUE` - for Lambda functions that are triggered by your step function’s state machine.

### Step Functions

If your function is part of a set of step functions, you can add the flag `step_function: true` to the Lumigo tracer import. Alternatively, you can configure the step function using an environment variable `LUMIGO_STEP_FUNCTION=True`. When this is active, Lumigo tracks all states in the step function in a single transaction, easing debugging and observability.

```javascript
const lumigo = require('@lumigo/tracer')({ step_function: true })
```

Note: the tracer adds the key `"_lumigo"` to the return value of the function.

If you override the `"Parameters"` configuration, add `"_lumigo.$": "$._lumigo"` to ensure this value is still present.

Below is an example configuration for a Lambda function that is part of a step function that has overridden its parameters:

```json
"States": {
"state1": {
"Type": "Task",
"Resource": "arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:ACCOUNT:function:FUNCTION_NAME",
"Parameters": {
"Changed": "parameters",
"_lumigo.$": "$._lumigo"
},
"Next": "state2"
},
"state2": {
"Type": "pass",
"End": true
}
}
```

## Logging Programmatic Errors

With the tracer configured, simply call

```javascript
console.log("[LUMIGO_LOG] ");
```

to create custom errors that are visible throughout the platform. This can be used anywhere in your Lambda code, and is included with the `@lumigo/tracer` package.

## Adding Execution Tags

You can add execution tags to a function with dynamic values using the parameter `addExecutionTag`.

These tags will be searchable from within the Lumigo platform.

### Adding tags for Manual tracing

To add a tag to a manual trace statement:

* Add the following to your code:

```javascript
const lumigo = require('@lumigo/tracer')({ token: 'YOUR-TOKEN-HERE' })
```

* Add execution tags by using

```javascript
lumigo.addExecutionTag('', '');
```

### Adding tags for Auto tracing

To add a tag to an automatically-traced function:

* Add the following to the top of your handler's .js file:

```javascript
const lumigo = require('@lumigo/tracer')
```

* Use

```javascript
lumigo.addExecutionTag('', '');
```

anywhere in your lambda code.

### Execution Tag Limitations

Execution tags are subject to the following limitations:

* The maximum number of tags is 50.
* Key length must be between 1 and 50.
* Value length must be between 1 and 70.

### Scrubbing Limitations

Secrets scrubbing are subject to the following limitations:

* Only JSON data secrets scrubbing is supported
