Tell us about your request Include ECS Fargate Service name in Fargate Task Metadata output. Customers trying to setup monitoring tools for their Fargate environments needs to retrieve metadata from fargate tasks, and ECS Fargate Service name is not shown as part of output this is creating additional burden to customers while trying to redirect and read the output

Which service(s) is this request for? Fargate, ECS

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? What outcome are you trying to achieve, ultimately, and why is it hard/impossible to do right now? Expecting Serivce Name to be printed as part of Fargate Task Metadata output

What is the impact of not having this problem solved? While monitoring the tasks via task metadata, customer are not able to figure out to which service the tasks belong to

It would be useful for my use cases to include the service name and service ARN. I would want these to be included in $ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 and $ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task.

I'm proposing to OTEL that aws.ecs.service.name to be a supported ECS resource attributes, but even with that in place, as ECS Service is undetectable on Fargate, the attribute population will be inconsistent. As a result, metrics and traces cannot be correlated correctly with ECS Service. I'd ask ECS team to prioritize this request as it will improve the quality of observability data on ECS.
