Datadog can automatically collect metrics from every layer of your ECS deployment, track data from your ECS cluster, its hosts and running services in dashboards, visualize your ECS deployment with the container map, detect services running on your ECS cluster automatically, get real-time insights into the health and performance of your ECS services and processes, collect and analyze your ECS logs to show trends beyond those visible to CloudWatch, create alerts to track potential issues with your ECS cluster, and provide comprehensive visibility with live containers and live processes. Additionally, Datadog's APM can help you optimize your applications by tracing requests across the containers, hosts, and services running in your ECS cluster, and provides distributed tracing and request rates for real-time insights into application-level performance. By setting up Datadog to collect ECS logs from CloudWatch or sending them directly from ECS container instances, you can process and analyze these logs to gain deeper insights into your ECS environment. Datadog also enables you to ensure ECS cluster availability with alerts on task status, resource use, and service health.
