Display AWS SDK context, e.g. DynamoDB table

[mattfysh]

I'm migrating from AWS Xray to Sentry and one missing feature that is immediately noticeable is the lack of granular AWS context in the trace.

Currently when using the AWS JS SDK to call AWS APIs, it displays as (for example) POST https://dynamodb.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/

It would be great to have the context needed to figure out which table, and which type of operation (get, query, scan, put, update, etc)

After a little digging, I found something similar in the @sentry/serverless package:

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/master/packages/serverless/src/awsservices.ts

@marshall-lee a couple of questions I had:

1. is there a way to get this to work with the @sentry/node package?
2. could we enrich DynamoDB operations to include the name of the table in the description? Similar to how Lambda and S3 operations current contain function and bucket names respectively.

Thanks!

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!

I have the same issue with a node lambda in AWS. I use DynamoDB as a primary data store, and am currently unable to distinguish which request is what:

1. Which table is being used
2. Which index is being used
3. What action is being performed (set, put, delete, batch get, ...)
4. what fields are being read (projected attrs.)
