Hi all. I'm running into the **Cloudwatch** plugin error for Logstash when trying to bring logs (non metrics) as a stream into Logstash.. I'm running the 8.5.3 version of Logstash... Earlier **cloudwatch\_logs** plugin doesn't seem to install anymore with latest version of Logstash.  
Kindly provide any pointers.  
enable\_metric=\>true, charset=\>"UTF-8"\>, role\_session\_name=\>"logstash", metrics=\>["CPUUtilization", "DiskReadOps", "DiskWriteOps", "NetworkIn", "NetworkOut"], statistics=\>["SampleCount", "Average", "Minimum", "Maximum", "Sum"], interval=\>900, period=\>300, combined=\>false\>  
Error: No metrics to query
