Creating an CloudWatch Event Rule for failed ECS tasks

I currently have an ECS task that fails from time to time, with different error codes. I would like to create a CloudWatch event rule that is triggered on such failures. I currently have the following cloud watch event rule, which is triggered only on exit code 1. I would like to be notified of all non-zero errors exit code. 

{
  "source": [
    "aws.ecs"
  ],
  "detail-type": [
    "ECS Task State Change"
  ],
  "detail": {
    "lastStatus": [
      "STOPPED"
    ],
    "stoppedReason": [
      "Essential container in task exited"
    ],
    "containers": {
      "exitCode": [
        "1"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Solution

  • Now you can use "anything-but" in CW rules.

    {
  "source": [
    "aws.ecs"
  ],
  "detail-type": [
    "ECS Task State Change"
  ],
  "detail": {
    "lastStatus": [
      "STOPPED"
    ],
    "containers": {
      "exitCode": [
        {
          "anything-but": 0
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
