AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) Integration
This integration enables seamless monitoring of your AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) infrastructure by collecting comprehensive metrics and logs from your ECS clusters, services, and tasks. With SigNoz's one-click AWS integration, you can start monitoring your ECS environment in minutes without complex manual configurations.
Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications. Monitoring ECS is crucial for performance optimization, cost management, troubleshooting issues with container deployments, and capacity planning to understand usage patterns for future needs.
What You'll Monitor & Data Collected
This integration collects comprehensive ECS metrics and logs, providing visibility into:
Core ECS Metrics
- CPU Utilization: Monitor CPU usage at cluster, service, and task levels
- Memory Utilization: Track memory consumption and identify memory leaks
- Network I/O: Monitor network traffic for performance optimization
- Task Status: Track running, pending, and stopped tasks
- Service Health: Monitor service stability and deployment status
Container Insights Metrics
When AWS Container Insights is enabled for your ECS resources, this integration also collects enhanced metrics including:
- Container-level resource utilization
- Task-level performance metrics
- Network and storage metrics
- Enhanced troubleshooting data
ECS Logs
- Container logs: Application logs from your ECS tasks
- ECS agent logs: Infrastructure-level logging
- Service event logs: ECS service lifecycle events
