AWS Cloud Collector - ECS - Add ServiceName discovery options

Please add native support for discovery of ECS metrics by ClusterName AND ServiceName dimensions!

    Hi Joe- Thanks for the suggestion!  The default ECS DataSource can be customized to additionally use ServiceName as a dimension, but since we currently don't discover service information when we discover a cluster, that service dimension would have to be hardcoded in the DataSource (and you'd need a new DataSource per service).  It might make more sense for us to see if we could discover services as instances for a cluster - does that align with what you'd want to see?

  • Hi Sarah,

    Enabling Monitoring via Local Collector is available for EC2 only now.

    Do you think it's possible and helpful to implement this feature for ECS as well?

  • Thanks, @Sarah Terry. I did notice the new datasource last week when I was migrating legacy Cloud integrations to LM Cloud. Definitely made me smile to retire my custom datasource :D.
