I have the amazon-cloudwatch-agent configured to retrieve custom metrics via collectd.
That is working in the sense that I can see the metrics in CloudWatch UI, but they have no unit (for example the collectd_GenericJMX_java_heap_used should have Bytes as CloudWatch Unit).
As far as I know collectd does not have the concept of units, and it seems that neither does telegraf.Metric (which I think is the underlying concept that is used in the amazon-cloudwatch-agent to ingest collectd metrics).
Is there any way, to specify the "units" for collectd metrics?
