Stop Sending Health Checks Traces to XRay

Hello,

You can do this by setting up sampling rules.

Go to the X-Ray service at console.aws.amazon.com, click sampling, then click Create Sampling Rule.

Here you can configure 0 for the reservoir size and fixed rate. This ensures that it never samples.

Then set the URL path under matching criteria to the health check URL path. This sets up your filter.
