Memory Metric from ECS Fargate

Question

Hello guys,

Is there a way to view the memory metrics from a task on ECS Fargate ?

I know through Container Insights, but I'd like to find another method.

thanks!

You can try a sidercar deploy to collect metrics using the CloudWatch Agent.

Also test the metadata endpoint for usefully information.

Answer

Hello,

One alternative is use AWS Exec [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-exec.html]() to get a container on the shell and run 
```
top
```
 or a similar command to view memory. Alternatively, you could install a container sidecar with memory metric monitoring capabilities like New Relic.

Feel free to ask a follow-up if the above doesn't make sense!
