AWS supports tracing Step Functions with X-Ray with a one click instrument step. Once activated, the step function context is propagated through all the lambda functions.
Can Splunk Observability Suite (APM) use the x-ray context data? Or is there another way to trace AWS step functions in splunk APM?
Step function handles the x-ray trace context internally and is not exposed to outside. Within the Lambda function, you can still get the trace context from the _X_AMZN_TRACE_ID environment variable if that fits your use case, however it will different for each lambda function within the StepFunction state machine.
