ECS Service – Monitor CPU Utilization
This check ensures that ECS service CPU utilization is monitored to detect performance issues, optimize resource usage, and prevent service disruptions.
Check Details
- Resource: ECS Service
- Check: Monitor ECS service CPU utilization
- Risk: Performance issues due to unmonitored CPU usage
Remediation via AWS Console
-
Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to
Amazon ECS.
- Click Clusters, select the affected ECS cluster, then click Services and select the affected ECS service.
-
Open the Health and metrics tab and ensure that
CPUUtilization metrics are being generated for the service.
-
If CPU utilization metrics are not available or not updating:
- Associate the service with a valid task definition
- Ensure the task definition specifies appropriate CPU values
- Save and deploy the updated service
