Elastic recently added the ability to receive CloudWatch logs via Kinesis Data Firehouse, which offers and excellent (and cheaper) way to forward log data into Elastic.

I'd love to see a similar capability like that for an integration that supports CloudWatch Metric Streams via Kinesis Data Firehouse (or Partner) for metric data, especially now that AWS supports OTEL v1
