AWS CWAgent are not getting to Splunk

[kongusuresh]

Hi
I have configured my input files as follows to get the cwagent custom metrics but metrics are not getting to Splunk server.
Please help I am struggling with it.

[aws_cloudwatch://test-CWagent_cca2f8c6-b830-41c1-8703-f2f22781a174]
aws_account = ************
aws_region = **************
metric_dimensions = [{"InstanceId":["."]}]
index = *****_cwagent
metric_names = "."
metric_namespace = CWAgent
period = 600
polling_interval = 3600
sourcetype = aws:cloudwatch
use_metric_format = false
statistics = ["Average","Sum","SampleCount","Maximum","Minimum"]
metric_expiration = 3600
query_window_size = 24

Same problem, no solution found.

If it can grab AWS namespaces, why can't it grab Custom namespaces?

It is not possible because the cwagent is part of our golden amu and we are some automated scripts to build the alarm and aws dashboard

Why not use collectd or the Splunk UF to pull the metrics and send them directly without using the CWAgent? This way if you move instances to another cloud provider, the configurations transfer easily without having to re-write props / transforms.
