The only service-specific metrics are procstat patterns.
If service-specific metrics are needed in the future, add extra_metrics parameter.

Note: Global append_dimensions only supports AWS metadata variables
(ImageId, InstanceId, InstanceType, AutoScalingGroupName).
Custom dimensions must be added to each metric type individually.

Variables:
@cloudwatch_log_group - CloudWatch log group name
@cloudwatch_namespace - CloudWatch metrics namespace
