Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a scalable container management service that can be used to run, stop, and manage containers on a cluster. An Amazon ECS container is a standardized unit of software development that holds everything that your software application requires to run.
Cisco Cloud Observability displays AWS entities on the Observe page. Metrics are displayed for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.

Detail View
To display the detail view for an Amazon ECS container:
Navigate to the Observe page.
Under Containers, click AWS ECS Containers. The list view now displays.
Click an ECS container Name to display the detail view. The detail view displays metrics, key performance indicators, and properties (attributes) related to the instance you selected.
Metrics and Key Performance Indicators
Cisco Cloud Observability displays the following metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for ECS containers.
Metric availability will vary depending on whether you have an Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) or Fargate deployment as well as their configurations. The Deployment column below denotes the deployment(s) where each metric is available.
Display Name
Description
Deployment
CPU Utilization (%)
The utilization of available CPUs by the container.
This metric is only defined for containers that have a defined CPU limit.
EC2, Fargate
Memory Utilization (%)
The utilization of available memory by the container.
This metric is only defined for containers that have a defined memory limit.
EC2, Fargate
Memory (MIB)
The amount of memory used by the container.
EC2, Fargate
Storage Read (KiB)
The number of KiB read by the container.
Fargate
Storage Write (KiB)
The number of KiB written by the container.
Fargate
Storage Read (KiB/Sec)
The rate of KiB read per second by the container.
Fargate
Storage Write (KiB/Sec)
The rate of KiB written per second by the container.
Fargate
