Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem?**
We are running into sporadic failures with the AWS CloudWatch Metrics agent on EKS. The error being observed are IMDS retry failures which doesn't seem to be tied to our configurations. The Helm chart is using an almost year-old version of the agent so we cannot be certain that the problems aren't arising because of the app itself.
Here are some relevant Github Issues I found:
- https://github.com/aws-observability/helm-charts/issues/75
- https://github.com/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/issues/1101
- https://github.com/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/issues/1435
The recommendation across the board seems to be to update the application's version, which we cannot because the latest version of the Helm chart is still using app version v1.300032.2b361
**Is your feature request related to a specific Helm chart, if yes mention name of the chart?**
aws-cloudwatch-metrics
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Update the app version of the aws-cloudwatch-metrics chart to atleast: v1.300051.0
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
We are process-locked here and would like for the Helm chart to be updated instead of trying any alternative sources for the newer version of the application.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the aws-cloudwatch-metrics Helm chart and trace where its application version is defined and rendered. Update the chart so it uses at least v1.300051.0, then verify the rendered chart references the requested version.
