-      ECS, Fargate compatible, input plugin which uses the ECS v2 metadata and stats API endpoints to gather stats on running containers in a Task.
+      Amazon ECS input plugin (AWS Fargate compatible) uses the Amazon ECS v2 metadata and stats API endpoints to gather stats on running containers in a task. 
+      The Telegraf container and the workload that Telegraf is inspecting must be run in the same task. This is similar to (and reuses pieces of) the 
+      Docker input plugin, with some ECS-specific modifications for AWS metadata and stats formats.
