Grafana dashboard: CloudWatch Exporter
Description: Dashboard for Amazon CloudWatch exporter API calls: https://github.com/prometheus/cloudwatch_exporter

Shows how stressed is the AWS cloudwatch exporter, and allows troubleshooting which resource is being scraped more. Also provides a tentative projection of how much will be the AWS bill for cloudwatch API calls.
