## Tutorial

* **Note**\
  You must verify that your AWS CLI is configured to the same Region that your Scorekeep sample application was created in.

## Sending data

* **Note**\
  Windows Command Processor and Windows PowerShell have different requirements for quoting and escaping quotes in JSON strings. See [Quoting Strings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-using-param.html#quoting-strings) in the AWS CLI User Guide for details.
* **Note**\
  See [Running the X-Ray daemon locally](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/aws_x_ray/xray-daemon-local.md) for instructions on running the daemon.

## Configuration

* **Note**\
  X-Ray does not support asymmetric KMS keys.

## Sampling

* **Note**\
  The response from X-Ray might not include a quota the first time you call it. Continue borrowing from the reservoir until you are assigned a quota.

## Segment documents

* **Note**\
  Values must be strings (up to 250 characters) unless noted otherwise.
