CloudWatchWriter output with wildcard in obj

[Michael Rubin]

Hello. I have a configuration like the below. I have a wildcard on 'topic', so I am expecting multiple topics to potentially be queried. I would like the name of each topic to become a 'dimension'. Is it possible to do this? Thank you.

{
  "outputWriters": [
    {
      "@class": "com.googlecode.jmxtrans.model.output.CloudWatchWriter",
      "settings": {
        "namespace": "Kafka Broker Topic Metrics",
        "dimensions": [
          {"name": "Broker", "value": "kafka-1"}
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "obj": "kafka.server:type=BrokerTopicMetrics,name=BytesInPerSec,topic=*",
  "attr": [
    "OneMinuteRate",
    "MeanRate"
  ]
}

Currently, it is not possible. I faced a similar issue and have submitted this pull request which will support this use case.
