Why is monitorElasticCache part of default monitoring when using monitorScope?

[larskinder]

Hi,

I am fairly new to using the monitoring construct and think it is really good. :- )
What I don't get is (if I understand the TS code correctly), why monitorElasticCache is part of the default setup when using monitorScope?
I noticed this, when taking a look at the default dashboard in CloudWatch and was like, why are their metrics for EC, if I am not using it and therefore not having it in my scope.

Again, maybe I am misunderstanding the intention or code, but to me this seems really misplaced.

Unfortunately the implementation of ElastiCacheClusterMonitoring/ElastiCacheClusterMetricFactory relied on a plain clusterId to identity the clusters rather than any concrete construct nodes. That may be subject to change if L2 constructs for ElastiCache are ever made available.
