Unable To Enable X-Ray On API Gateway - AWS Documentation Outdated?

Question

We're trying to enable AWS X-Ray on our API Gateway following this documentation -> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-services-apigateway.html

Following the documentation, I'm unable to follow this step "4. On the Logs/Tracing tab, choose Enable X-Ray Tracing and then choose Save Changes." as it doesn't appear on the screenshot attached.

Could you kindly advise if I'm missing out a step or the AWS documentation is outdated?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

No, the documentation is not outdated, the problem is that you have deployed an HTTP API and unfortunately [it doesn't support X-Ray](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-vs-rest.html#http-api-vs-rest.differences.monitoring).
