Monitor Lightsail container service resource utilization

After you create an Amazon Lightsail container service, you can view its metric graphs on the Metrics tab of the service’s management page. Monitoring metrics is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of your resources. Monitor and collect metric data from your resources regularly so that you can more readily debug a multi-point failure, if one occurs. For more information about metrics, see Metrics in Amazon Lightsail.

When monitoring your resources, you should establish a baseline for normal resource performance in your environment.

Note

Alarms and notifications are currently not supported for container service metrics.

Container service metrics

The following container service metrics are available:

  • CPU utilization — The average percentage of compute units that are currently in use across all nodes of your container service. This metric identifies the processing power required to run containers on your container service.

  • Memory utilization — The average percentage of memory that is currently in use across all nodes of your container service. This metric identifies the memory required to run containers on your container service.

Note

If you create a new deployment, then the existing utilization metrics of your container service will disappear, and only metrics for the new current deployment will be shown.
