Title
Check ECS agent logs and push them to CloudWatch
You can check ECS agent logs to understand why an instance is unhealthy or troubleshoot issues with task placement. You can view the logs directly on the instance or push them to CloudWatch so you can access the logs even after the instance is replaced.
Instructions
  1. Connect to the instance to view agent logs (if the instance is still running).
    • Use your preferred method to connect to the EC2 instance.
    • After connecting, check the ECS agent logs in the default log location for your AMI.

  2. Push the ECS agent logs to CloudWatch.
    • Update your agent configuration to send logs to CloudWatch.
    • This lets you review the ECS agent logs even after the instance is terminated or replaced by the system.
    • Use CloudWatch to search, filter, and retain logs for ongoing troubleshooting.
Outcome
You can check ECS agent logs directly on running instances or review them later in CloudWatch if the instance has already been replaced.
