### Access AWS X-Ray Root Trace ID

Tracer exposes a `getRootXrayTraceId()` method that allows you to retrieve the [AWS X-Ray Root Trace ID](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-concepts.html#xray-concepts-traces) corresponds to the current function execution.

!!! info "This is commonly useful in two scenarios"

1. By including the root trace id in your response, consumers can use it to correlate requests
2. You might want to surface the root trace id to your end users so that they can reference it while contacting customer service

=== "index.ts"

```typescript hl_lines="9"
import { Tracer } from '@aws-lambda-powertools/tracer';

const tracer = new Tracer({ serviceName: 'serverlessAirline' });

export const handler = async (event: unknown, context: Context): Promise<void> => {
try {
...
} catch (err) {
const rootTraceId = tracer.getRootXrayTraceId();

// Example of returning an error response
return {
statusCode: 500,
body: `Internal Error - Please contact support and quote the following id: ${rootTraceId}`,
headers: { "_X_AMZN_TRACE_ID": rootTraceId },
};
}
};
```

### Escape hatch mechanism

You can use `tracer.provider` attribute to access all methods provided by the [AWS X-Ray SDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray-sdk-for-nodejs/latest/reference/AWSXRay.html).
