# Amazon ECS Input Plugin

Amazon ECS, Fargate compatible, input plugin which uses the Amazon ECS metadata and
stats [v2][task-metadata-endpoint-v2] or [v3][task-metadata-endpoint-v3] API endpoints
to gather stats on running containers in a Task.

The telegraf container must be run in the same Task as the workload it is
inspecting.

This is similar to (and reuses a few pieces of) the [Docker][docker-input]
input plugin, with some ECS specific modifications for AWS metadata and stats
formats.

The amazon-ecs-agent (though it _is_ a container running on the host) is not
present in the metadata/stats endpoints.

## Configuration

```toml
# Read metrics about ECS containers
[[inputs.ecs]]
  ## ECS metadata url.
  ## Metadata v2 API is used if set explicitly. Otherwise,
  ## v3 metadata endpoint API is used if available.
  # endpoint_url = ""

  ## Containers to include and exclude. Globs accepted.
  ## Note that an empty array for both will include all containers
  # container_name_include = []
  # container_name_exclude = []

  ## Container states to include and exclude. Globs accepted.
  ## When empty only containers in the "RUNNING" state will be captured.
  ## Possible values are "NONE", "PULLED", "CREATED", "RUNNING",
  ## "RESOURCES_PROVISIONED", "STOPPED".
  # container_status_include = []
  # container_status_exclude = []

  ## ecs labels to include and exclude as tags.  Globs accepted.
  ## Note that an empty array for both will include all labels as tags
  ecs_label_include = [ "com.amazonaws.ecs.*" ]
  ecs_label_exclude = []

  ## Timeout for queries.
  # timeout = "5s"
```

## Configuration (enforce v2 metadata)

```toml
