Hi, i'm using metricbeat 7.5.1. I'm trying to collect daily storage metrics and s3 bucket tags with the cloudwatch metricset, but its failing to collect tags. I have succeeded to describe the tags in my aws account with AWS CLI and 'AWS Resource Groups Tagging API - get-resources' using 's3' in the resource type filter parameter. this is my Cloudwatch metric set configuration:

```auto
    - module: aws
      period: 86400s
      metricsets:
        - cloudwatch   
      metrics: 
        - namespace: AWS/S3
          tags.resource_type_filter: s3

```

Can anyone help me figure out what could have go wrong here?  
Thanks in advance.
