[ECS/Fargate] Supress "No pod metric collected" when the CloudWatch agent running on ECS/Fargate

[aws-patrickc]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, when using CloudWatch agent with ECS containers the following log messages gets repeated logged:

2023-08-05T05:35:10Z W! No pod metric collected, metrics count is still 8 is containerd socket mounted? https://github.com/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/issues/188

This appears to be a mechanism to determine if the container used is Kubernetes/EKS or not, which makes sense as CloudWatch agent can be used for both EKS and ECS. However, repeatedly logging this line when ECS is being used adds no value and does increase log group size and unwanted noise. I couldn't find a way to suppress this.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please can we have a flag/configuration value where we can suppress this type of message?

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
See log files repeatedly logging the message every minute:
