New Relic Infrastructure's integrations include an integration for reporting your Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) data and your Amazon EC2 Container Registry (ECR) data to New Relic products. This document explains the integration's features, how to activate it, and what data can be reported.
Features
With New Relic's ECS/ECR monitoring integration, you can monitor reserved vs. utilized capacity, task execution, and registry of containers. AWS integration data is also available for analysis and chart creation in Insights.
Activate integration
To enable this integration:
- Make sure you have installed the Infrastructure agent before you activate AWS integrations from your Infrastructure account.
- Follow standard procedures to Connect AWS services to Infrastructure.
Configuration and polling
You can change the polling frequency and filter data using configuration options.
Default polling information for the AWS ECS/ECR integration:
- 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 in Infrastructure, go to infrastructure.newrelic.com > Integrations > Amazon Web Services and select one of the AWS ECS/ECR integration links.
In New Relic Insights, data is attached to the ComputeSample event type, with a provider value of EcsCluster.
The integration collects these ECR/ECS definitions:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
ClusterName |
This dimension filters the data you request for all resources in a specified cluster. All Amazon ECS metrics are filtered by ClusterName. |
ServiceName |
This dimension filters the data you request for all resources in a specified service within a specified cluster. |
For more on how to find and use integration data, see Understand integration data.
Metric data
The ECS/ECR integration collects the following data:
Cluster and service metrics
| Name | Data type |
|---|---|
CPUUtilization |
percent |
MemoryUtilization |
percent |
Cluster metrics
| Name | Data type |
|---|---|
CPUReservation |
percent |
MemoryReservation |
percent |
Service metrics
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Active Service |
The number of services that are running on the cluster in an ACTIVE state |
Pending Tasks |
Number of tasks in the cluster that are in PENDING state |
Running Tasks |
Number of tasks in the cluster that are in RUNNING state |
Registered Instances |
Number of container instances registered into the cluster |
Inventory data
Inventory data provides information about the service's state and configuration. For more about inventory data, see Understand and use data.
aws/ecs/cluster
| Attribute name | Description |
|---|---|
status |
The status of the cluster. The valid values are ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE indicates that you can register container instances with the cluster and the associated instances can accept tasks. |
name |
User-generated string to identify the cluster. |
awsRegion |
AWS region where the cluster is running. |
aws/ecs/service
| Attribute name | Description |
|---|---|
status |
The status of the service. The valid values are ACTIVE, DRAINING or INACTIVE. ACTIVE means the instance accepts new tasks, DRAINING means the instance prevents new tasks from being started and notifies the service scheduler to move tasks to other instances in the cluster, generally used with the purpose of maintaining the instance or scale it down and INACTIVE means the instance is not active. |
clusterName |
User-generated string to identify the cluster. |
serviceName |
User-generated string to identify the service. |
launchType |
Type of infrastructure on which tasks and services are hosted. The valid values are EC2 and FARGATE. |
awsRegion |
AWS region where the service is running. |
deploymentMaximumPercent |
Upper limit on the number of service's tasks that are allowed in the RUNNING or PENDING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desiredCount. |
deploymentMinimumPercent |
Lower limit on the number of service's tasks that must remain in the RUNNING state during a deployment, as a percentage of the desiredCount. |
desiredCount |
The number of instantiations of the specified task definition to place and keep running on the cluster. |
taskDefinition |
ARN of the task definition file that describes the containers that form the application. |
