VIEW RULE IN DATADOG VIEW MISCONFIGURATIONS

Description

This control verifies whether ECS clusters have Container Insights enabled.

Monitoring is essential for ensuring the reliability, availability, and performance of Amazon ECS clusters. Container Insights enables the collection, aggregation, and analysis of metrics and logs from containerized applications and microservices. CloudWatch automatically gathers key metrics such as CPU, memory, disk usage, and network activity. Additionally, Container Insights provides diagnostic data, like container restart failures, to aid in identifying and resolving issues efficiently.
