AWS AppSync and AWS X-Ray

You can enable and trace requests for AWS AppSync. For more information, see Tracing with AWS X-Ray for instructions.

When X-Ray tracing is enabled for an AWS AppSync API, an AWS Identity and Access Management service-linked role is automatically created in your account with the appropriate permissions. This allows AWS AppSync to send traces to X-Ray in a secure way.
