<p>Uploads segment documents to Amazon Web Services X-Ray. The <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/index.html">X-Ray SDK</a> generates segment documents and sends them to the X-Ray daemon, which uploads them in batches. A segment document can be a completed segment, an in-progress segment, or an array of subsegments.</p> <p>Segments must include the following fields. For the full segment document schema, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-api-segmentdocuments.html">Amazon Web Services X-Ray Segment Documents</a> in the <i>Amazon Web Services X-Ray Developer Guide</i>.</p> <p class="title"> <b>Required segment document fields</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <code>name</code> - The name of the service that handled the request.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>id</code> - A 64-bit identifier for the segment, unique among segments in the same trace, in 16 hexadecimal digits.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>trace_id</code> - A unique identifier that connects all segments and subsegments originating from a single client request.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>start_time</code> - Time the segment or subsegment was created, in floating point seconds in epoch time, accurate to milliseconds. For example, <code>1480615200.010</code> or <code>1.480615200010E9</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>end_time</code> - Time the segment or subsegment was closed. For example, <code>1480615200.090</code> or <code>1.480615200090E9</code>. Specify either an <code>end_time</code> or <code>in_progress</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>in_progress</code> - Set to <code>true</code> instead of specifying an <code>end_time</code> to record that a segment has been started, but is not complete. Send an in-progress segment when your application receives a request that will take a long time to serve, to trace that the request was received. When the response is sent, send the complete segment to overwrite the in-progress segment.</p> </li> </ul> <p>A <code>trace_id</code> consists of three numbers separated by hyphens. For example, 1-58406520-a006649127e371903a2de979. This includes:</p> <p class="title"> <b>Trace ID Format</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p>The version number, for instance, <code>1</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p>The time of the original request, in Unix epoch time, in 8 hexadecimal digits. For example, 10:00AM December 2nd, 2016 PST in epoch time is <code>1480615200</code> seconds, or <code>58406520</code> in hexadecimal.</p> </li> <li> <p>A 96-bit identifier for the trace, globally unique, in 24 hexadecimal digits.</p> </li> </ul>
