Description

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Currently Nvidia GPU metric relies on telegraf and are gathered by Name, Index and Host.
The GPU UUID is available in [telegraf](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/nvidia_smi/README.md ) but excluded in [cloudwatch agent](https://github.com/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/blob/cba127dbb53289239009ea9c761b747d5a2fb57f/translator/translate/metrics/config/deny_list_tags.go#L8)
We'd like to enable AWS Batch customer on ECS/EC2 to monitor their GPU utilization. ECS relies on [GPU UUID for task placement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_RunTask.html)

Research direction

Start with the referenced telegraf nvidia_smi README and the cloudwatch agent translator/translate/metrics/config/deny_list_tags.go entry point to understand how GPU UUID is currently excluded. Trace the agent's Nvidia GPU metric aggregation and verify that GPU UUID is available for ECS/EC2 monitoring without losing existing dimensions.
