In AWS X-Ray if request starts with API Gateway - it populates trace with request info, such as URL or method. But if request initiates with ALB - only trace ID is supplied.

Is there a way supply information similar to API Gateway?

From the documentation:

Elastic Load Balancing application load balancers add a trace ID to incoming HTTP requests in a header named X-Amzn-Trace-Id.

Load balancers do not send data to X-Ray, and do not appear as a node on your service map.

It looks like if you wanted more information about the request you could possibly tie that back to a record in the Load Balancer's access log.
