X-Ray Trace Retrieval in CloudWatch Agent Configuration
The Amazon CloudWatch Agent configuration wizard includes an option related to X-Ray traces, indicating a potential integration point for observability data.
During the configuration of the Amazon CloudWatch Agent on a Windows EC2 instance, the `AmazonCloudWatchAgentConfigWizard.exe` presents an option to 'retrieve X-Ray traces'. In the demonstration provided, this option was specifically selected 'no' because an X-Ray daemon was not installed on the instance. This implies that for X-Ray traces to be retrieved via the CloudWatch Agent, an X-Ray daemon would need to be present and running.
