Coralogix deprecated its ECS Fluentd integration, migrate log shipping to OpenTelemetry

TL;DR

If you still run the Fluentd-based Coralogix integration on ECS, plan the migration to the OpenTelemetry collector integration now, do not wait for the legacy endpoints to go dark.

Steps

1. If you still run the Fluentd-based Coralogix integration on ECS, plan the migration to the OpenTelemetry collector integration now, do not wait for the legacy endpoints to go dark. Migrate Fargate deployments to the OTel ECS Fargate integration and EC2 deployments to the OTel EC2 path, then verify logs arrive in the Coralogix UI before decommissioning the Fluentd sidecar.

When to use

Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.

Source: Coralogix telemetry-shippers documents that the AWS ECS Fluentd log integration is deprecated. The legacy endpoints will stop working, so deployments still on the Fluentd integration need to migrate ECS Fargate or ECS EC2 log shipping to the matching OpenTelemetry collector integration before the cutoff, or log flow silently breaks.

Verified resolution: If you still run the Fluentd-based Coralogix integration on ECS, plan the migration to the OpenTelemetry collector integration now, do not wait for the legacy endpoints to go dark. Migrate Fargate deployments to the OTel ECS Fargate integration and EC2 deployments to the OTel EC2 path, then verify logs arrive in the Coralogix UI before decommissioning the Fluentd sidecar.
