Genkit AWS Plugin

AWS observability integration for Genkit, enabling telemetry export to AWS X-Ray (distributed tracing) and CloudWatch (metrics/logs).

Installation

pip install genkit-plugin-aws

Quick Start

from genkit.plugins.aws import add_aws_telemetry

# Enable AWS X-Ray telemetry (uses AWS_REGION env var)
add_aws_telemetry()

# Or with explicit region
add_aws_telemetry(region='us-west-2')

Configuration

Environment Variables

Options

add_aws_telemetry(
    region='us-west-2',          # AWS region (or use AWS_REGION env var)
    log_input_and_output=False,  # Set True to disable PII redaction
    force_dev_export=True,       # Export even in dev environment
    disable_traces=False,        # Set True to disable tracing
)

IAM Permissions

The following IAM permissions are required:

For Traces (X-Ray)

Attach the AWSXrayWriteOnlyPolicy managed policy, or create a custom policy:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "xray:PutTraceSegments",
                "xray:PutTelemetryRecords"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
