/GetRetrievedTracesGraph:
post:
operationId: GetRetrievedTracesGraph
summary: Get Retrieved Traces Graph
description: Retrieves a service graph for traces based on the specified RetrievalToken from the CloudWatch log group generated by Transaction Search. This API does not initiate a retrieval job. You must first execute StartTraceRetrieval to obtain the required RetrievalToken. The trace graph describes services that process incoming requests and any downstream services they call, which may include Amazon Web Services resources, external APIs, or databases. The response is empty until the RetrievalStatus is COMPLETE. Retry the request after the status changes from RUNNING or SCHEDULED to COMPLETE to access the full service graph. When CloudWatch log is the destination, this API can support cross-account observability and service graph retrieval across linked accounts. For retrieving graphs from X-Ray directly as opposed to the Transaction-Search Log group, see GetTraceGraph.

/ListRetrievedTraces:
post:
operationId: ListRetrievedTraces
summary: List Retrieved Traces
description: Retrieves a list of traces for a given RetrievalToken from the CloudWatch log group generated by Transaction Search. For information on what each trace returns, see BatchGetTraces. This API does not initiate a retrieval process. To start a trace retrieval, use StartTraceRetrieval, which generates the required RetrievalToken. When the RetrievalStatus is not COMPLETE, the API will return an empty response. Retry the request once the retrieval has completed to access the full list of traces. For cross-account observability, this API can retrieve traces from linked accounts when CloudWatch log is set as the destination across relevant accounts. For more details, see CloudWatch cross-account observability. For retrieving data from X-Ray directly as opposed to the Transaction Search generated log group, see BatchGetTraces.

post:
operationId: StartTraceRetrieval
summary: Start Trace Retrieval
description: Initiates a trace retrieval process using the specified time range and for the given trace IDs in the Transaction Search generated CloudWatch log group. For more information, see Transaction Search. API returns a RetrievalToken, which can be used with ListRetrievedTraces or GetRetrievedTracesGraph to fetch results. Retrievals will time out after 60 minutes. To execute long time ranges, consider segmenting into multiple retrievals. If you are using CloudWatch cross-account observability, you can use this operation in a monitoring account to retrieve data from a linked source account, as long as both accounts have transaction search enabled. For retrieving data from X-Ray directly as opposed to the Transaction-Search Log group, see BatchGetTraces.
