ECS Insights Dashboard

Grafana Configuration
1

Hi, I am trying to push my ECS container insights metrices to Grafana, but not able to do so.

I am beginner and tried importing dashboards for ecs but found only one related to AWS ECS with Dashboard ID as 551, apart from this I tried importing dashboard with Dashboard ID as 14392.

In dashbaord ID 14392 , its not picking up ECS conatiners, so tried modifying the variable for Clustername but its not working.

so, need help with solution to push ECS container insights metrices to Grafana.

welcome to the :grafana: forum, @abhi1996

the pre built dashboards are not enough. First you must configure the Cloudwatch data source plugin for Grafana:

The CloudWatch datasource offers two namespaces for metrics.

  1. AWS/ECS, which is specified in the rebuild dashboard, which works as expected.
  2. ECS/ContainerInsights, does not supply any data, although an ECS Cluster is running.

I reckon that @abhi1996 was talking about the later one.

But this is not a Grafana issue. That must be configured on the AWS side and AWS configuration is out of scope of this Grafana discussion.
