Container Insights performance log events for Amazon ECS - Amazon CloudWatch
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Container Insights performance log events for Amazon ECS

The following are examples of the performance log events that Container Insights collects from Amazon ECS.

These logs are in CloudWatch Logs, in a log group named /aws/ecs/containerinsights/CLUSTER_NAME/performance. Within that log group, each container instance will has a log stream named AgentTelemetry-CONTAINER_INSTANCE_ID.

You can query these logs using queries such as { $.Type = "Container" } to view all container log events.
