Adding Runtime Monitoring to existing Amazon ECS tasks

When you turn on Runtime Monitoring, all new standalone tasks, and new service deployments in the cluster are protected automatically. In order to preserve the immutability constraint, existing tasks are not affected.

Prerequisites

• Turn on Runtime Monitoring. For more information, see Turning on Runtime Monitoring for Amazon ECS.

Procedure

• To immediately protect a task, you need to perform one of the following actions:

  • For standalone tasks, stop the tasks, and then start them. For more information, see Stopping an Amazon ECS task and Running an application as an Amazon ECS task.

  • For tasks that are part of a service, update the service with the "force new deployment" option. For more information, see Updating an Amazon ECS service using the console.
