Amazon ECS task metadata v3 JSON response for tasks on Fargate
The following information is returned from the task metadata endpoint
(${ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI}/task) JSON response.
Cluster-
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or short name of the Amazon ECS cluster to which the task belongs.
TaskARN-
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task to which the container belongs.
Family-
The family of the Amazon ECS task definition for the task.
Revision-
The revision of the Amazon ECS task definition for the task.
DesiredStatus-
The desired status for the task from Amazon ECS.
KnownStatus-
The known status for the task from Amazon ECS.
Limits-
The resource limits specified at the task level, such as CPU (expressed in vCPUs) and memory. This parameter is omitted if no resource limits are defined.
PullStartedAt-
The timestamp for when the first container image pull began.
PullStoppedAt-
The timestamp for when the last container image pull finished.
AvailabilityZone-
The Availability Zone the task is in.
Note
The Availability Zone metadata is only available for Fargate tasks using platform version 1.4 or later (Linux) or 1.0.0 or later (Windows).
Containers-
A list of container metadata for each container associated with the task.
DockerId-
The Docker ID for the container.
Name-
The name of the container as specified in the task definition.
DockerName-
The name of the container supplied to Docker. The Amazon ECS container agent generates a unique name for the container to avoid name collisions when multiple copies of the same task definition are run on a single instance.
Image-
The image for the container.
ImageID-
The SHA-256 digest for the image.
Ports-
Any ports exposed for the container. This parameter is omitted if there are no exposed ports.
Labels-
Any labels applied to the container. This parameter is omitted if there are no labels applied.
DesiredStatus-
The desired status for the container from Amazon ECS.
KnownStatus-
The known status for the container from Amazon ECS.
ExitCode-
The exit code for the container. This parameter is omitted if the container has not exited.
Limits-
The resource limits specified at the container level, such as CPU (expressed in CPU units) and memory. This parameter is omitted if no resource limits are defined.
CreatedAt-
The time stamp for when the container was created. This parameter is omitted if the container has not been created yet.
StartedAt-
The time stamp for when the container started. This parameter is omitted if the container has not started yet.
FinishedAt-
The time stamp for when the container stopped. This parameter is omitted if the container has not stopped yet.
Type-
The type of the container. Containers that are specified in your task definition are of type
NORMAL. You can ignore other container types, which are used for internal task resource provisioning by the Amazon ECS container agent. Networks-
The network information for the container, such as the network mode and IP address. This parameter is omitted if no network information is defined.
ClockDrift-
The information about the difference between the reference time and the system time. This applies to the Linux operating system. This capability uses Amazon Time Sync Service to measure clock accuracy and provide the clock error bound for containers. For more information, see Set the time for your Linux instance in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux instances.
ReferenceTime-
The basis of clock accuracy. Amazon ECS uses the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) global standard through NTP, for example
2021-09-07T16:57:44Z. ClockErrorBound-
The measure of clock error, defined as the offset to UTC. This error is the difference in milliseconds between the reference time and the system time.
ClockSynchronizationStatus-
Indicates whether the most recent synchronization attempt between the system time and the reference time was successful.
The valid values are
SYNCHRONIZEDandNOT_SYNCHRONIZED.
ExecutionStoppedAt-
The time stamp for when the tasks
DesiredStatusmoved toSTOPPED. This occurs when an essential container moves toSTOPPED.
