Collector layer does not support awsxray exporter?

[spongenee]

I'm seeing the below error
failed to get config: cannot unmarshal the configuration: decoding failed due to the following error(s):\n\nerror decoding 'exporters': unknown type: \"awsxray\" for id: \"awsxray\" (valid values: [prometheusremotewrite debug otlp otlphttp])" with exporter configuration below

exporters:
  awsxray:
    region: 'us-east-1'
  debug:
  otlphttp:
    traces_endpoint: 'https://xray.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/traces'
    auth:
      authenticator: sigv4auth

But the documentation https://opentelemetry.io/docs/platforms/faas/lambda-collector/#create-a-custom-configuration-file seems to suggest awsxray is a valid exporter, which is misleading?

I don't think xray is a valid exporter with the community lambda layer. You probably want to use the ADOT layer.

Thanks! Probably a good idea to update the documentation?
The ADOT collector layer doesn't work very well with Ruby runtimes so I used the otlphttp exporter to send traces to xray.
collector.yaml for reference if it might be helpful to anyone:

receivers:
  otlp:
    protocols:
      grpc:
        endpoint: 'localhost:4317'
      http:
        endpoint: 'localhost:4318'
extensions:
  sigv4auth:
    assume_role:
      arn: '${env:OTEL_EXPORTER_ROLE_ARN}'
      sts_region: '${env:AWS_REGION}'
    region: '${env:AWS_REGION}'
exporters:
  debug:
  otlphttp:
    traces_endpoint: 'https://xray.${env:AWS_REGION}.amazonaws.com/v1/traces'
    auth:
      authenticator: sigv4auth
service:
  extensions: [sigv4auth]
  pipelines:
    traces:
      receivers: [otlp]
      exporters: [debug,otlphttp]
