Introduce an ECS metrics exporter to Grafana Alloy, enabling users to gather cluster-wide metrics for AWS ECS clusters. This feature would provide deep visibility into ECS cluster and task performance without requiring AWS Container Insights or external tooling.
Currently, monitoring ECS clusters requires either
Deploying third-party exporters (e.g., Prometheus cAdvisor or custom ECS exporters).
Ideally it would include
Total running tasks across the cluster
CPU and memory reservations
Pending task counts
Use case
This use case is for exposing metrics that are normally only available with Cloudwatch Container Insights when Container Insights is not desirable for cost reasons.
