ECS monitor lists unhealthy services in your ECS clusters

The script will list the clusters and fetch details about services that are running in it.

Then it determines if the service is healthy or not:

• [OK] means that its desiredCount equals its runningCount and it has reached a steady state
• [WARN] means that its desiredCount and its runningCount equal 0 but it still has reached a steady state
• [KO] means that its desiredCount does not equal its runningCount, or that it has not reached a steady state

Usage: ecs monitor [OPTIONS]

  List unhealthy services in your ECS clusters.

Options:
  -f, --filter TEXT     Filter by the name of the ECS cluster
  -t, --threshold TEXT  Filter by the status of the service
  -l, --long            Enable detailed output of containers parameters
  -a, --all             Display status for all services in the cluster
  --help                Show this message and exit.

List unhealthy services in all ECS clusters:

$ ecs monitor
---- ECS-MYCLUSTER-DEV : 5 services
[KO]    tools-hound-dev-1                            running 0/1 (hound-dev:75)
[WARN]  tools-jenkins-dev-1                          running 0/0 (jenkins-dev:247)
[WARN]  tools-kibana-dev-1                           running 0/0 (srv-kibana:55)
[KO]    tools-sonar-dev-1                            running 2/1 (srv-sonar:923)

---- ECS-MYCLUSTER-PROD : 5 services
[WARN]  tools-jenkins-prod-1                         running 0/0 (jenkins-prod:247)

By default ecs monitor only shows services that are KO or WARN, use the -a/--all option to list all services.

List all services in ECS clusters that contains 'dev' in their name:

$ ecs monitor --all --filter dev
---- ECS-MYCLUSTER-DEV : 5 services
[OK]    tools-deployment-dev-1                       running 1/1 (srv-deployment-dev:3)
[KO]    tools-hound-dev-1                            running 0/1 (hound-dev:75)
[WARN]  tools-jenkins-dev-1                          running 0/0 (jenkins-dev:247)
[WARN]  tools-kibana-dev-1                           running 0/0 (srv-kibana:55)
[KO]    tools-sonar-dev-1                            running 2/1 (srv-sonar:923)

You can also get more information by using the -l/--long option:

$ ecs monitor --long --filter prod
---- ECS-MYCLUSTER-PROD : 5 services

The scale-service command allows you to quickly scale the desiredCount of a service in your ECS cluster.

It takes three parameters: the name of the cluster (or its ARN), the name of the service and the new desired count of tasks for this service.

Usage: ecs scale-service [OPTIONS] COUNT

  Scale the service to a specific desiredCount.

Options:
  --cluster TEXT  Name of the ECS cluster  [required]
  --service TEXT  Name of the service  [required]
  --help          Show this message and exit.

$ ecs scale-service --cluster ecs-mycluster-dev --service tools-deployment-dev-1 4
Updating tools-deployment-dev-1 / desiredCount[1 -> 4] running_count=1

Service tools-deployment-dev-1 successfully updated with desired_count=4
