# X-Ray Group

An X-Ray Group in AWS is a logical grouping of traces that share specific criteria, such as a filter expression. It allows you to organize and analyze subsets of trace data for applications monitored with AWS X-Ray. Groups help you focus on particular services, users, or request patterns, and you can configure them to generate insights and metrics for performance and error analysis.
