When dagster runs on ECS does it get the container definitio

Question

When dagster runs on ECS does it get the container definitions from `dagsterdaemon` or from `workflows user code`

Bianca Rosa · Answer

I see that there is a variable that is being inherited from dagsterdaemon thinking face or at least it looks like it

jordan · Answer

It infers some of its container definitions from wherever the run is being launched typically that s dagster daemon like if it s a schedule or sensor or sometimes dagit like if you re launching from the UI

Is there an easy way to configure environment variables thinking face

Bianca Rosa · Answer

I mean for the new ecs task that spins up not for the dagsterdaemon task itself I would love to override a variable that is sent to datadog to be able to distinguish logs from the dagsterdaemon task from the one that is in fact running the code

Yup added recently actually You can either add it to all runs by configuring it where you configure your user code launcher in your dagster yaml Or you can add it to runs for a certain user code server via Here s the actual change there are some examples in the tests although we could admittedly do a better job of documenting this in our docs
