**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
Hi,
I would like to have the possibility to monitor Pods executed via EKS-fargate profile. In the current implementation in our Environment, we are using EKS-fargate-profile for executing GitLab jobs inside .
ex. I have deployed gitlab-runner container in this profile and during GitLab-runner pipeline execution, Slave-Gitlab-runner will be spin up in this profile and will create another fargate pod .. once the job will be completed fargate container will disappear.
Due to a lot of pipelines and execution (fargate 's) I would like to have possibility to monitor somehow:

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
This could be Fargate, ECS, EKS, ECR
EKS with implementation fargate profile

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
What outcome are you trying to achieve, ultimately, and why is it hard/impossible to do right now? What is the impact of not having this problem solved? The more details you can provide, the better we'll be able to understand and solve the problem.

I would like to have the possibility to get output metrics from the fargate containers to be able to consume ex. by prometheus. I have tried to use Container-insight helm chart but still no output present from the container metrics.
Current docu: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/monitoring-fargate-usage.html what is currently supported I think is not enough.

Do we have another solution how to get metrics from the eks-fargate-profile fargate containers ?
As I have written currently I would like to use fargate's containers for executing pipeline jobs but I am unable to get any metrics from there ..

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
How are you currently solving this problem?
I dont have any workaround how to monitor EKS-fargate-profile container within container-insights-yace-prometheus-grafana

**Additional context**
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Start with the linked AWS EKS Fargate monitoring documentation and the Container Insights Helm chart mentioned in the issue. Determine which metrics are currently supported, how Fargate pod metrics are exposed, and what specific Prometheus-compatible outcome would define completion.
