Grafana - Configure Custom Metrics from Cloudwatch

Question

I am new to Grafana. I am setting it up to view data from Cloudwatch for a Custom Metrics. Custom Metrics Namespace Name is JVMStats, Metric is JVMHeapUsed, Dimension is instance Id. If I configure these data, I am not able to get the graph. Can you please advice me on how to get the data?

Answer 1

I want to do the same.

As far as I can tell, it's not possible out of the box with the latest Grafana (2.6 at time of writing). See this issue.

This pull request implements it. It's currently tagged as 3.0-beta1. So I expect we'll both be able to do what we want come version 3.0.

EDIT: inserting proof of 3.0-beta-1 working

I installed 3.0-beta-1, and was able to use Custom Metrics, as evidenced by this image:
