Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm running otel collector as a sidecar in ECS scheduled task.

I'm using awsfirelens log driver in and use fluentforward receiver in the otel collector.

When I run a hello-world container as a scheduled task (which task finished in a mili-second because just printing hello world), otel collector sidecar gracefully shutdown so fast and I'm missing scheduled task logs.

Describe the solution you'd like

Before starting shutdown, i would like to able to configure otel to wait X more seconds after it get SIGTERM signal.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Container dependency options does not cover for shutdown.

Additional context

As result of this, we have to use fluentbit sidecar. Because it has a configuration named flush which allow us to get logs even for hello world scheduled task.

This seems like a possible option for fluentforwardreceiver to have a wait before shutting down.
