Hi there,
I'm trying to get some Fargate metrics using Cloudwatch namespaces, but I don't see a way to get them to Kibana.
modules.d/aws.yml
```auto
- module: aws
period: 5m
access_key_id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
secret_access_key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
metricsets:
- rds
- usage
- ebs
- ec2
- cloudwatch
metrics:
- namespace: "*"
```
in the logs output I can see this, but not sure how to check this in kibana:
```auto
"aws": {
"ecs": {
"metrics": {
"MemoryUtilization": {
"avg": 15.336588541666666,
"max": 15.4296875,
"min": 15.234375,
"sum": 153.36588541666666,
"count": 10
},
"CPUUtilization": {
"sum": 5.197281962927915,
"count": 10,
"avg": 0.5197281962927915,
"max": 1.1245832656975834,
"min": 0.2879062617197633
}
}
},
"cloudwatch": {
"namespace": "AWS/ECS"
},
"dimensions": {
"ServiceName": "web-service",
"ClusterName": "tt-ecs"
}
},
"event": {
"dataset": "aws.cloudwatch",
"module": "aws",
"duration": 120682193
},
"metricset": {
"name": "cloudwatch",
"period": 300000
}
}
```
How would I be able to visualize these metrics?

Did you integrate filebeat with Elasticsearch? See: [Filebeat quick start: installation and configuration | Filebeat Reference [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/filebeat-installation-configuration.html)

Hi Marcin,
so you mean I should install filebeat inside the containers running on ECS? I've installed firelens container with fluentbit as AWS recommends for log streaming to fluentd.

Could you please post configuration for filebeat? I don't see where did you configure the connection to Elasticsearch.

not using filebeat but metricbeat to get the metrics from AWS Cloudwatch AWS/ContainerInsights namespace.
Metricbeat configuration is pretty simple,
```auto
metricbeat.config.modules:
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
reload.enabled: yes
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
setup.kibana:
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
processors:
- add_host_metadata: ~
- add_cloud_metadata: ~
- add_docker_metadata: ~
- add_kubernetes_metadata: ~
- add_observer_metadata: ~
logging.level: debug
logging.to_files: true
logging.files:
path: /var/log/metricbeat
name: metricbeat
keepfiles: 7
permissions: 0644
```

Sorry misread the fact that you're using metricbeat. Actually this is the snippet I was looking for:
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
```
Could you please check if any data land in the ES cluster? As you said you can see outputted logs (process stdout?)
