I’ve created a metric and added the Math expression RATE.

For each spun up instance I am assigning specific tags which I would like to be included as a dimension for each metric pushed. I don’t seem to be able to get it as it does not replace it with value and it seems to be misterious how to achieve it as there are no documentation only bits and pieces of information.

I’ve the following metric that doesn’t graph anything while the SEARCH function with the same parameters does, how can I debug this?

I would like to build a custom dashboard that contains various metrics. The applications are tagged and I want to receive metrics based on this tags. This means, application1 consists of four lambda functions (tag appName: app1), application2 consists of three lambda functions (tag appName: app2), etc. I want to retrieve the sum of all Lambda invocations grouped by the tag appName. Is this possilbe?

I would like to build a custom dashboard that contains various metrics. As an example I want to use the Lambda Invocations: I want to see the invocations for each lambda function as a line graph. My problem: Lambda functions are regularly deleted and new ones created in this account. Since the name of the Lambda function must be specified in the widget, it is not clear to me how I should keep these widgets up to date. Do I really have to adjust the widgets after each deployment?
I am aware that I can see this value via the Automatic Dashboards, but I need numerous other metrics which I want to arrange individually, etc.

I have a scenario where I would like to append a dimension that depends on the value of a specific tag assigned to an instance. For example, I have and instance tagged with Role = X and I would like to append the dimension Role and the value of that dimension is the value of the tag Role.
My guess would be that the syntax is similar to ${aws:InstanceId}. I was able to include the new dimension within the specific metrics like so
