Splunk Add-on for AWS : How to Fetch Cloudwatch Metrics with NO Dimensions?

Hi Splunker's

I am using "Splunk Add-on for AWS" and trying to fetch metrics from CloudWatch.
Currently stuck on an implementation where the metric I want to pull doesn't have any Dimension to it (Metrics with no dimensions as what its termed on CloudWatch)

As in the image above when I put Dimensions block as empty it doesn't allow to save the entry. I tried other combination as well "[{}]" which would mean blank data but even this didn't work

Would really appreciate some help on how I can fetch these metrics with no dimensions or if it is really possible to fetch this data at all over Splunk using Add-on.

Cheers!
