New Relic Logs for AWS FireLens: Custom Log Routing for Amazon ECS Clusters

The New Relic Logs team has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to support FireLens custom log routing for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) environments, enabling teams to send ECS log data to New Relic and gain additional visibility into their environment's health and performance. FireLens is a fast, simple, and efficient process that adds a sidecar container using Fluent Bit or Fluentd to function as a log router, allowing for custom log routing within ECS task definitions. Configuring FireLens for New Relic Logs is a two-part process, involving the configuration of the log router container definition and the setup of logging configurations for application containers, which can be done with minimal effort and leveraging AWS Secrets Manager for security. With FireLens up and running, teams can explore their data using the New Relic Logs UI, view contextual log data, query their data in New Relic Insights, and review documentation for detailed setup, configuration, and troubleshooting tips.
