Setting up CPU and memory monitoring

After you enable Runtime Monitoring and assess that the coverage status of your cluster is Healthy, you can set up and view the insight metrics.

The following topics can help you evaluate how the deployed agent performs against the CPU and memory limits for the GuardDuty agent.

The following steps from the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide can help you evaluate how the deployed agent performs against the CPU and memory limits for the GuardDuty agent:

  1. Setting up Container Insights on Amazon ECS for cluster- and service-level metrics

  2. Amazon ECS Container Insights metrics

After the GuardDuty security agent gets deployed and you assess that the coverage status of your cluster is Healthy, you can set up and view the Container insight metrics.

Evaluate performance of the security agent
