 | `log_group_name`  | Customized log group name which supports `{ClusterName}` and `{TaskId}` placeholders. One valid example is `/aws/metrics/{ClusterName}`. It will search for `ClusterName` (or `aws.ecs.cluster.name`) resource attribute in the metrics data and replace with the actual cluster name. If none of them are found in the resource attribute map, `{ClusterName}` will be replaced by `undefined`. Similar way, for the `{TaskId}`, it searches for `TaskId` (or `aws.ecs.task.id`) key in the resource attribute map. For `{NodeName}`, it searches for `NodeName` (or `k8s.node.name`)                                         |"/metrics/default"|
