# Enable ECS logging To generate logs for AWS ECS clusters, you must first create an Elasticsearch logging container. Once auditing is enabled, your container logging data can be captured for analysis. ## Prerequisites * [Create a Task Definition](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/aws-services/containers#7-toc-title) * Define at least one [Service and container](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/overview/aws-services/containers). * Enable the[ Audit](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/overview/auditing#enabling-audit) feature. ## Enabling ECS ElasticSearch logging 1. In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to **Administrator** -> **Tenant**. The **Tenant** page displays. 2. From the **Name** column, select the Tenant that is running the container for which you want to enable logging. 3. Click the **Settings** tab. 4. Click **Add**. The **Add Tenant Feature** pane displays. 5. From the **Select Feature** list box, select **Other**. The **Configuration** field displays. 6.
