Description
I am creating EKS CloudWatch Observability addon using Terraform with this config. All custom configurations are available in configs directory.

When deploying it, it goes timed-out after 20 minutes
While exploring the logs of fluentbit pods, it shows file is already available and contains error. If I delete default config and deploy same configurations using terraform_data source, it deploys and works perfectly fine.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the custom configurations in the configs directory and the Terraform configuration that passes configuration_values to the Amazon CloudWatch Observability addon. Start by reproducing the deployment timeout and inspect the fluentbit pod logs, including the reported file-already-available error. Done means the addon deploys successfully with the custom configuration instead of timing out.
