Tell us about your request
Please, add support (potentially via Container Insights?) to gather and view network metrics for services/containers using the awsvpc networking mode.

Which service(s) is this request for?
ECS, CloudWatch.

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
I'm trying to monitor the network status for my ECS containers effectively. I would believe that I can monitor the ENI cards individually at the EC2 network stack and somehow map them to the corresponding ECS service, but this doesn't sound effective (if even possible). There should be a way to easily view container network metrics similar to those shown when using the bridge network mode.

Are you currently working around this issue?
In progress/No solution found so far.

This is especially crucial for Fargate as we do not have EC2 metrics.
