Hi,

Can you please confirm if cloudwatch plugin will publish metrics that are received by the statsd collectd plugin ?

Thanks, Girish

Cloudwatch plugin doesn't distinguish the source of the metrics. In theory it should publish all metrics passing the white list filter.

I see the values are pushed but the tag that is provided to statsd is not converted as dimensions. They are seen in cloud watch as a blob of metric name.

Thanks for your information. Currently, this plugin does not support dynamic dimensions. There are only two fix dimensions which comes from collectd in this plugin now. We will consider add some other fix dimensions in the future.
