Crowd - AWS X-Ray integration

unknown

I would like to integrate Crowd application with AWS X-Ray to diagnose each element of the application’s processes in order to get a full snapshot of how an application is performing.

I have tried to insert the following into .../apache-tomcat/conf/web.xml:

<filter>
  <filter-name>XRayServletFilter</filter-name>
  <filter-class>com.amazonaws.xray.javax.servlet.AWSXRayServletFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
...
<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>XRayServletFilter</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

The aws-xray-recorder-sdk-core-1.1.1.jar was downloaded and added to the .../apache-tomcat/lib, although the the tomcat will fail to start.

Does anybody know how to properly configure AWS X-Ray with Crowd?

Hi Tomasz,

I know nothing about AWS X-Ray but I'm under the impression you might have put the filter in the wrong place. Did you try to insert your filter in crowd-webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml instead of apache-tomcat/conf/web.xml ?
