Following the release of the first metrics dashboard, some improvements are necessary, similar to the improvements made for the AWS API Gateway logs dashboard in: #7541 where filters were added.

1. Control groups

• aws.dimensions.ApiId is a dimension available for HTTP and Websocket type APIs.

• aws.dimensions.ApiName is a dimension available for REST type APIs.

• aws.dimensions.Stage is a dimension available for all API types in AWS API Gateway.

• AWS Region is commonly used to filter AWS dashboards.

2. Filter based on aws.dimensions.Stage as some documents are being generated without a stage dimension and appear to add metric values from 2 stages together (as a total):

For example, aws.apigateway.metrics.Count.sum for prod and dev in the lucian-REST-PetStore API is 64 and 32 respectively, while aws.apigateway.metrics.Count.sum for the extra document coming in from the same API is 96 (64+32).
