You can report your Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) data and your Amazon EC2 Container Registry (ECR) data to New Relic.
Recommended alternatives
As a preferred alternative to this integration, you can monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. To do this, enable the AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration.
We also offer an ECS on-host integration, which reports a different data set than this cloud-based integration.
Overview of integration
New Relic ECS/ECR monitoring integration allows you to monitor reserved vs. utilized capacity, task execution, and registry of containers. AWS integration data is also available for analysis and chart creation.
Activate the integration
To enable this integration, follow our documentation to connect AWS services to New Relic.
If you have services running on ECS, you can also enable monitoring of those services.
Important
In AWS, you have to opt-in for the new ARN format (announcement) to distinguish between services with the same name in different clusters. Otherwise, you could have data collision.
Configuration and polling
You can change the polling frequency and filter data using configuration options.
The default polling values for the Amazon ECS/ECR integration are:
- New Relic polling interval: 5 minutes
- Amazon CloudWatch data interval: 1 minute or 5 minutes
Find and use data
To find this integration's data, go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Infrastructure > AWS and select one of the Amazon ECS/ECR integration links.
You can query and explore your data using the ComputeSample event type. Use a provider value of EcsCluster for cluster data, or a provider value of EcsService for cluster-service data.
The integration collects these ECR/ECS definitions:
