Datadog is announcing native support for FireLens for Amazon ECS, which streamlines logging by enabling the configuration of a log collection and forwarding tool such as Fluent Bit directly in Fargate tasks. This allows users to centralize logging from their entire stack, including traditional infrastructure and serverless components. With built-in Fluent Bit support, users can now seamlessly route container logs from AWS Fargate to Datadog, enabling them to monitor these logs alongside other Fargate metrics. To start forwarding Fargate container logs to Datadog with Fluent Bit, users need to specify a new container definition for their Fargate task, which creates a FireLens container using Amazon's Fluent Bit image. The user can then create a new log configuration that uses AWS FireLens as the log driver and specifies output options for Fluent Bit, associating the logs with a specific service and source in Datadog. With this integration, users can monitor their Fargate tasks in Datadog, viewing logs alongside metrics from all of their Fargate containers, including CPU and memory usage. Additionally, Autodiscovery allows Datadog to automatically detect containerized services on Fargate and configure Datadog Agent checks for 850+ integrations like Redis and NGINX.
