At the end of November, we’ll be migrating the Sematext Logs backend from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch

New AWS ECS on AWS Fargate & EC2 logs integration

December 15, 2020

With our new ECS Logs integration, you get a complete overview of all logs your ECS Cluster is generating. This includes both AWS Fargate and AWS EC2 Container Instances!

You can see info about which containers are running, how many clusters you have logs coming in from as well as an overview of Task Definitions.

Errors are clearly visible as well helping you troubleshoot issues. You get several reports out of the box, including Containers, Tasks, and Clusters where you can view and filter logs based on predefined filters.

Configuring log forwarding from ECS is as simple as setting up AWS FireLens and copy-pasting a FluentBit configuration into the AWS Console. It doesn’t get any simpler than that to get started with collecting logs from AWS ECS!

If you need more information, check out the AWS ECS Logs documentation.
