Use Container Insights
On, as Container Insights (enabled) or Container Insights with enhanced observability (enhanced)

With the AWS CLI

aws ecs update-cluster-settings --cluster <cluster-name> --settings name=containerInsights,value=enabled --region <region>

With Terraform

resource "aws_ecs_cluster" "this" {
  name = "example"

  setting {
    name  = "containerInsights"
    value = "enabled"
  }
}
