ECS CPU/Memory usage container

Question

How can I see the used resources per ECS container? Now im able to see the resources from the whole cluster but I want to see it per container.

I know I can see it via docker stats when I SSH to my cluster, but I prefer Cloudwatch for it.

Answer 1

ECS doesn't provide per container metrics on CloudWatch.

You could install the CloudWatch Agent in your containers via the Docker file. You can configure CloudWatch agent to publish a bunch of host level metrics.

However, note that all of these metrics would be Custom Metrics and would cost a lot.
