Amazon ECS task metadata V4 JSON response

The following information is returned from the task metadata endpoint (${ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4}/task) JSON response. This includes metadata associated with the task in addition to the metadata for each container within the task.

Cluster

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or short name of the Amazon ECS cluster to which the task belongs.

ServiceName

The name of the service to which the task belongs. ServiceName will appear for Amazon EC2 and Amazon ECS Anywhere container instances if the task is associated with a service.

Note

The ServiceName metadata is only included when using Amazon ECS container agent version 1.63.1 or later.

VPCID

The VPC ID of the Amazon EC2 container instance. This field only appears for Amazon EC2 instances.

Note

The VPCID metadata is only included when using Amazon ECS container agent version 1.63.1 or later.

TaskARN

The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task to which the container belongs.

Family

The family of the Amazon ECS task definition for the task.

Revision

The revision of the Amazon ECS task definition for the task.

DesiredStatus

The desired status for the task from Amazon ECS.

KnownStatus

The known status for the task from Amazon ECS.

Limits

The resource limits specified at the task level, such as CPU (expressed in vCPUs) and memory. This parameter is omitted if no resource limits are defined.

PullStartedAt

The timestamp for when the first container image pull began.

PullStoppedAt

The timestamp for when the last container image pull finished.

AvailabilityZone

The Availability Zone the task is in.

Note

The Availability Zone metadata is only available for Fargate tasks using platform version 1.4 or later (Linux) or 1.0.0 (Windows).

LaunchType

The launch type the task is using. When using cluster capacity providers, this indicates whether the task is using Fargate or EC2 infrastructure.

Note

This LaunchType metadata is only included when using Amazon ECS Linux container agent version 1.45.0 or later (Linux) or 1.0.0 or later (Windows).

Containers

A list of container metadata for each container associated with the task.

DockerId

The Docker ID for the container.

When you use Fargate, the id is a 32-digit hex followed by a 10 digit number.

Name

The name of the container as specified in the task definition.

DockerName

The name of the container supplied to Docker. The Amazon ECS container agent generates a unique name for the container to avoid name collisions when multiple copies of the same task definition are run on a single instance.

Image

The image for the container.

ImageID

The SHA-256 digest for the image.

Ports

Any ports exposed for the container. This parameter is omitted if there are no exposed ports.

Labels

Any labels applied to the container. This parameter is omitted if there are no labels applied.

DesiredStatus

The desired status for the container from Amazon ECS.

KnownStatus

The known status for the container from Amazon ECS.

ExitCode

The exit code for the container. This parameter is omitted if the container has not exited.

Limits

The resource limits specified at the container level, such as CPU (expressed in CPU units) and memory. This parameter is omitted if no resource limits are defined.

CreatedAt

The time stamp for when the container was created. This parameter is omitted if the container has not been created yet.

StartedAt

The time stamp for when the container started. This parameter is omitted if the container has not started yet.

FinishedAt

The time stamp for when the container stopped. This parameter is omitted if the container has not stopped yet.

Type

The type of the container. Containers that are specified in your task definition are of type NORMAL. You can ignore other container types, which are used for internal task resource provisioning by the Amazon ECS container agent.

LogDriver

The log driver the container is using.

Note

This LogDriver metadata is only included when using Amazon ECS Linux container agent version 1.45.0 or later.

LogOptions

The log driver options defined for the container.

Note

This LogOptions metadata is only included when using Amazon ECS Linux container agent version 1.45.0 or later.

ContainerARN

The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the container.

Note

This ContainerARN metadata is only included when using Amazon ECS Linux container agent version 1.45.0 or later.

Networks

The network information for the container, such as the network mode and IP address. This parameter is omitted if no network information is defined.

RestartCount

The number of times the container has been restarted.

Note

The RestartCount metadata is included only if a restart policy is enabled for the container. For more information, see Restart individual containers in Amazon ECS tasks with container restart policies.

ExecutionStoppedAt

The time stamp for when the tasks DesiredStatus moved to STOPPED. This occurs when an essential container moves to STOPPED.
