Hello, I am collecting AWS CloudWatch metrics with multiple Elastic Agents with the same policy, but there is an issue with data being collected redundantly. How can I solve this?  
If I don't have a way to handle this as every Agent is keeping track of its current state, should I only collect metrics from one agent?

- elastic version: 8.10.2
- aws integration version: 2.8.6
