Description
Why?
- removes the need for metric filter in CW log group in metrics tutorials
- This might enable more fine-grained/specific metrics experiences, need to think on this more.
How?
- exec input takes cmd output and turns it into logs
- create script that obtains desired metrics and outputs EMF records
- FLB sends cmd output (EMF records) as EMF logs
- args to script can select metrics/experiences

Research direction
Start with the metrics tutorials and the exec input described in the issue. Determine how a script should obtain the desired metrics, emit EMF records, and accept arguments for selecting metrics or experiences. Done means the tutorials no longer require a CloudWatch metric filter and the resulting output is sent as EMF logs.
