Send metrics to AWS CloudWatch using the PutMetricData endpoint.

Introduced in version 3.36.0.

# Common config fields, showing default values
metrics:
aws_cloudwatch:
namespace: Benthos
path_mapping: ""

It is STRONGLY recommended that you reduce the metrics that are exposed with a path_mapping like this:

metrics:
cloudwatch:
namespace: Foo
path_mapping: |
if ![
"input.received",
"input.latency",
"output.sent",
].contains(this) { deleted() }
