logging

In AWS ECS you can define the log driver in a similar way as you do locally. In ECS Compose-X, default settings will be applied and use awslogs driver by default.

For more information on the docker-compose logging syntax, refer to Docker Compose logging syntax reference

docker-compose options

Currently, the settings defined in logging are ignored and replaced by default settings for AWS Logs. This is to guarantee deployment success on AWS ECS with AWS Fargate. Future versions will cater for other logging drivers. You can however update options with logging if you defined the logging driver as awslogs

Tip

For more configuration options with ECS Compose-X, see services.x-logging or firelens_syntax_reference
