Does ECS with Fargate support Detailed Monitoring? If so, how do I enable it for a service in Terraform?

I'd like to enable 1-minute resolution of the CloudWatch metrics ECSServiceAverageMemoryUtilization and ECSServiceAverageCPUUtilization. I understand that by default, they are only updated every 5 minutes unless you enabled Detailed Monitoring, but I'm unclear on how to enable this.

I googled around and had no luck, only finding descriptions of what Detailed Monitoring is, how much it costs, etc.

I looked through both these documents:

but see no mention of it.

Is this maybe an account setting instead of an IaaC setting?

The closest thing to what you are looking for is ECS Container Insights.

You enable that at the ECS cluster level in Terraform:

resource "aws_ecs_cluster" "cluster" {
  name = "my-cluster"

  setting {
    name  = "containerInsights"
    value = "enabled"
  }
}
