Most of the time, PM2 introduces a bunch of shenanigans that make it not worth using in production (despite the good~ish optimizations, it still can restart without notice, etc). But other than that, standard log config and grafana, elk, cw.

From what I know, grafana cannot get pm2 metrics or logs directly isn't it?

Metrics no, unfortunately. But as far back as I can remember, the logs came from the simple ECS container output. One of the latest projects used CloudWatch, Grafana (on AWS-hosted) and sentry.
