AWS Fargate Task Fail Monitoring

Hi all,

We are following https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/amazon-web-services/integrate-into-aws/aws-fargate#runtime to setup Fargate monitoring and it works perfectly for ECS Tasks that is up and running.

Now we have a use case that wants to capture the startup fail, or the ECS Tasks that stopped within 5 minutes, so that we can use Dynatrace as debugging tool without accessing CW logs.

For example, the exit code and the duration that shown in AWS UI (Image attached)

Can you let us know all the possible solutions or workaround. (We consider using AWS CW Metrics Ingestion with Container Insights, but more details to the failure are desired)

Best regards,
Terry
