Springboot with Spring-cloud-aws and cloudwatch metrics

Check this conversation:

@sachinlad Indeed the documentation is unfortunately missing, we will create a updated version within the next releases. Do enable the metic export to Cloud Formation, you will need to configure the namespace with the property cloud.aws.cloudwatch.namespace

Have a look at the integration test https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-aws/blob/master/spring-cloud-aws-integration-test/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/aws/metric/MetricExporterTest.java that is an integration test and export the metrics to cloud formation.

Hope that helps, feel free to come back in case of any problems.

I wrote it after setting this up in my project.

From header:

"Article explains how to send Spring Boot and Netflix Servo metrics to AWS CloudWatch. Morover it describes mechanisms making it happen. It also mentions problems I run into trying to do the same with Spring Boot and Spectator."
