## Overview

Coralogix offers ECS enhanced monitoring, an extension to AWS Metrics from CloudWatch using the [Amazon ECS API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_Operations.html) to collect tags and additional metrics.

This approach saves some calls to `resroucegrouptagging` API and adds all the new metrics that are specified in this document under [Collected data](#collected-data).

## Prerequisites

- [AWS Metrics from CloudWatch](https://coralogix.com/docs/integrations/aws/aws-cloudwatch/aws-metrics-via-cloudwatch/index.md) integration
- Policy permissions used for this integration:
- `ecs:DescribeContainerInstances`
- `ecs:DescribeClusters`
- `ecs:DescribeServices`
- `ecs:ListContainerInstances`
- `ecs:ListClusters`
- `ecs:ListServices`

## Configuration

- `EcsEnhancedMonitoring` toggle in the [AWS Metrics from CloudWatch](https://coralogix.com/docs/integrations/aws/aws-cloudwatch/aws-metrics-via-cloudwatch/index.md) integration configuration
