Verify the Serverless Tracer Instrumentation

Note: This document contains links to AWS1 documentation. Splunk AppDynamics makes no representation as to the accuracy of Amazon documentation because Amazon controls its own documentation.

After you set environment variables and instrument the Serverless Tracer, you can verify successful instrumentation.

Test the Function

Deploy your function to AWS and test in the AWS Management Console.

You need to create a test load on your function to see activity within Splunk AppDynamics. If your test log yields no errors, the tracer successfully instrumented.

Warning: To protect your production code, the tracer never fails your function. Your function may execute successfully yet fail to instrument the tracer. Check the logs of each AWS Lambda test in the AWS Management Console to confirm Serverless APM successfully instrumented.

View in the Controller

Your AWS Lambda function appears on the flow map after a few minutes of processing application load.

To view your function in Splunk AppDynamics:

  1. Log in to your Controller.
  2. Navigate to Applications and find your new application.
