Lambda functions should have X-Ray tracing enabled
Default Severity: low
Explanation
X-Ray tracing enables end-to-end debugging and analysis of all function activity. This will allow for identifying bottlenecks, slow downs and timeouts.
Possible Impact
Without full tracing enabled it is difficult to trace the flow of logs
Suggested Resolution
Enable tracing
Insecure Example
The following example will fail the aws-lambda-enable-tracing check.
resource "aws_iam_role" "iam_for_lambda" {
name = "iam_for_lambda"
assume_role_policy = <<EOF
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Principal": {
"Service": "lambda.amazonaws.com"
},
"Effect": "Allow",
"Sid": ""
}
]
}
EOF
}
resource "aws_lambda_function" "bad_example" {
filename = "lambda_function_payload.zip"
function_name = "lambda_function_name"
role = aws_iam_role.iam_for_lambda.arn
handler = "exports.test"
# The filebase64sha256() function is available in Terraform 0.11.12 and later
# For Terraform 0.11.11 and earlier, use the base64sha256() function and the file() function:
# source_code_hash = "${base64sha256(file("lambda_function_payload.zip"))}"
source_code_hash = filebase64sha256("lambda_function_payload.zip")
runtime = "nodejs12.x"
environment {
variables = {
foo = "bar"
}
}
tracing_config {
mode = "Passthrough"
}
}

The following example will pass the aws-lambda-enable-tracing check.
