Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services: How to collect cloudwatch metrics that don't use metric dimensions?

The cloudwatch metrics for CodeBuild service in AWS does not have a metric dimension when you want to get the metrics for this service across the whole account.
How do I configure the inputs.conf of the Splunk AWS Add-on to account and collect metrics from services like this?
I've tried to leave the metric_dimensions = blank in inputs and also an empty list but the addon fails out on that input each time.

Can you try [{}] as dimensions?
