List running ECS services

ECS services lists unhealthy services in your ECS clusters

The script will list the clusters and fetch details about services that are running in it.

Then it determines if the service is healthy or not:

• [OK] means that its desiredCount equals its runningCount and it has reached a steady state
• [WARN] means that its desiredCount and its runningCount equal 0 but it still has reached a steady state
• [KO] means that its desiredCount does not equal its runningCount, or that it has not reached a steady state

Usage

List services in your ECS clusters

Usage:
  ecs services [flags]

Flags:
  -a, --all              Print all services, ignoring their status
  -c, --cluster string   Filter by the name of the ECS cluster
  -h, --help             help for services
  -l, --long             Enable detailed output of containers parameters
  -s, --service string   Filter by the name of the ECS service

Global Flags:
      --region string   AWS region

List unhealthy services in all ECS clusters:

$ ecs services
--- CLUSTER: ecs-mycluster-dev (listing 4/9 services)
[KO]   tools-hound-dev-1                                    ACTIVE   running 0/1  (hound-dev:75)
[WARN] tools-jenkins-dev-1                                  ACTIVE   running 0/0  (jenkins-dev:247)
[WARN] tools-kibana-dev-1                                   ACTIVE   running 0/0  (srv-kibana:55)
[KO]   tools-sonar-dev-1                                    ACTIVE   running 2/1  (srv-sonar:923)

--- CLUSTER: ecs-mycluster-prod (listing 1/12 services)
[WARN] tools-jenkins-prod-1                                 ACTIVE   running 0/0  (jenkins-prod:142)

By default ecs services only shows services that are KO or WARN, use the -a/--all option to list all services. Also if all services in a cluster are OK, all services are shown.

List unhealthy services in a specific ECS cluster:

$ ecs services --cluster ecs-mycluster-prod
--- CLUSTER: ecs-mycluster-prod (listing 1/12 services)
[WARN] tools-jenkins-prod-1                                 ACTIVE   running 0/0  (jenkins-prod:247)

You can also get more information by using the -l/--long option:

$ ecs services --long --cluster prod
--- CLUSTER: ecs-mycluster-prod (listing 1/12 services)
[WARN] tools-jenkins-prod-1                                 ACTIVE   running 0/0  (jenkins-prod:142)
- Container: jenkins
  Image: 123456789012.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/acme/jenkins:2.77-custom
  Memory: 1024 / CPU: 512
  Ports: ->8080
  Environment:
   - JAVA_OPTS: -Dhudson.footerURL=http://mycompany.com
   - JENKINS_OPTS: --prefix=/jenkins
   - JENKINS_SLAVE_AGENT_PORT: 50001
   - PLATFORM: prod
   - PROJECT: acme

You can also choose to filter the services listed by their name:

$ ecs services -s jenkins
--- CLUSTER: ecs-mycluster-dev (listing 1/9 services)
[WARN] tools-jenkins-dev-1                                  ACTIVE   running 0/0  (jenkins-dev:247)

--- CLUSTER: ecs-mycluster-prod (listing 1/12 services)
[WARN] tools-jenkins-prod-1                                 ACTIVE   running 0/0  (jenkins-prod:142)

Also, you can combine the flags -s and -c to filter down a specific service and check its health across a restricted set of clusters.
