Monitor AWS ECS service in NagiosXI

[lrnnetops]

Hi Team,

We are using Nagios XI, can we monitor the AWS ECS services (Eg: Task, CPU, Memory and Disk utilizations) in Nagios XI.

Hi @lrnnetops,

You would be able to monitor individual EC2s within your ECS cluster with the Amazon EC2 wizard, but we do not have a wizard or pre-built plugin for monitoring Amazon ECS, which would likely require a custom built plugin. Here is a link to our plugin guidelines for your reference, in case this is a path you choose to go down.

Hi Jsimon/Team,
Thank you for sharing these details, Also wanted to check If we use custom plugins to monitor the AWS ECS services in NagiosXI will there be any licensing issue?

Yeah, you can monitor ECS in Nagios XI, but don't expect it to be easy. It's CloudWatch API access, period. You have to script the whole thing to pull Task/CPU/Memory. Seriously, the IAM setup alone will make you question your career choices. If the API structure feels like gibberish, just get some formal Trainocate training. It saves you months of work.
