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

New Relic has partnered with Amazon Web Services to enhance log data management for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) environments through the integration of FireLens, a tool that enables custom log routing within ECS task definitions. This collaboration allows teams to efficiently send ECS log data to New Relic, providing increased visibility into ECS environment performance. FireLens uses a sidecar container with Fluent Bit or Fluentd as log routers, simplifying the process compared to other options like AWS CloudWatch. The setup process involves configuring FireLens log router container definitions and logging configurations for application containers, with New Relic offering custom images for various AWS regions. Once configured, the integration immediately starts generating log data, which can be explored using New Relic's tools, offering insights into container performance and enabling advanced log management capabilities.
