ECS container health checks failing.

Hello.

Have you tried the troubleshooting in the documentation below?

Hi Vishnu

The fact that your container health checks are failing despite an exit code of 0, successful target group status, and logs showing a 200-status code for the health check endpoint is indeed unusual.

Follow the links to resolve issue.

I have a similar issue.

If I use "exit 0" container health checks are ok. If use "curl -f http://localhost:8080/health || exit 1" then i get this even "task b6f075b723ec40d0a130f228b46b5327 failed container health checks."

the target group is using same path "/health" for the health checks and they are ok. Could it be that the localhost is not resolved properly? I am using fargate setup.
