Enable Docker debug output for ECS container instances and the Docker daemon #424

Closed jparsons04 closed 6 years ago

jparsons04 commented 6 years ago

Expected behavior

We do get some information from ECS container instances when we need to troubleshoot issues with our containers, but it could potentially be improved per AWS guidelines.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/docker-debug-mode.html

The above document describes how debug mode can be enabled for the Docker daemon which will output more verbose log messages from the daemon.

Actual behavior

Some log information is sent to CloudWatch but it can be challenging at times to pinpoint the root cause of issues we have been experiencing with ECS containers.
