EndpointConnectionError with XRay daemon in ECS tasks

0

I've created an ECS Service with a task definition that contains two containers. The first is the xray-daemon, and the second is my application (Python, Flask). The task starts fine; however, the application container gives me the following error in the logs.

botocore.exceptions.EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "http://127.0.0.1:2000/GetSamplingRules"

I've tried to do a port mapping on the xray-daemon container to 2000/tcp and followed the documentation to link the two containers specified here.

Any suggestions/thoughts on how to fix this?

Below is my task definition:

I was able to solve it. This was an error in the task definition where I had two key/values for environment in the application's container definition. The last environment key was overwriting the first environment key/values.

I removed the second "environment": [], in the task definition and redeployed my task, and everything works now.
