Describe task

Usage: ecsta describe

Describe tasks

Flags:
      --id=STRING          task ID
      --family=FAMILY      task definition family name
      --service=SERVICE    ECS service name

Exec task

Usage: ecsta exec

Flags:
      --id=STRING           task ID
      --command="sh"        command to execute
      --container=STRING    container name
      --family=FAMILY       task definition family name
      --service=SERVICE     ECS service name

Portforward task

-local-port and -remote-port, or -L is required.

Usage: ecsta portforward

Forward a port of a task

Flags:
      --id=STRING                   task ID
      --container=STRING            container name
      --local-port=INT              local port
      --remote-port=INT             remote port
      --remote-host=STRING          remote host
  -L, --L=STRING                    short expression of local-port:remote-host:remote-port
      --family=FAMILY               task definition family name
      --service=SERVICE             ECS service name

An example of port forwarding. Forward a port 8080 of a task to 80 of example.com.

$ ecsta portforward --local-port 8080 --remote-port 80 --remote-host example.com

$ ecsta portforward -L 8080:example.com:80

ecsta connects to the task and starts a port forwarding. You can access the port 8080 of the local machine.

$ curl -H"Host: example.com" http://localhost:8080

Stop task

Usage: ecsta stop

Stop a task

Flags:
      --id=STRING         task ID
      --force             stop without confirmation
      --family=FAMILY     task definition family name
      --service=SERVICE   ECS service name

Trace task

Run tracer. No need to install tracer command.

Usage: ecsta trace

Trace a task

Flags:
      --id=STRING                   task ID
  -d, --duration=1m                 duration to trace
      --sns-topic-arn=STRING        SNS topic ARN
      --family=FAMILY               task definiton family name
      --service=SERVICE             ECS service name

Logs

Usage: ecsta logs

Show log messages of a task

Flags:
     --id=STRING                   task ID
  -s, --start-time=STRING           a start time of logs
  -d, --duration=1m                 log timestamps duration
  -f, --follow                      follow logs
      --container=STRING            container name
      --family=FAMILY               task definiton family name
      --service=SERVICE             ECS service name

--start-time accepts flexible time formats (ISO8601, RFC3339, and etc). See also (tkuchiki/parsetime)[https://github.com/tkuchiki/parsetime].

When --start-time and --follow is specified both, --start-time may not work correctly.

--task-format-query(-q) option

This option provides a formatter by jq query. The query processes tasks JSON (that output equals to ecsta describe) in task selector outputs.

For example,

$ ecsta -q '[(.tags[]|select(.key=="Env")|.value), .launchType] | @tsv' exec

A task selector output will be as below.

045a0639-1dc5-4d17-8101-2dd3fd339e91    prod    EC2
8f431e68-a57d-41db-ae8d-5eb700a134dc    dev     FARGATE

The query [(.tags[]|select(.key=="Env")|.value), .launchType] | @tsv means, "Show tags value of "Env" key, and LaunchType for tasks as TSV format.".
