title: Cloudwatch data logs to create a custom dashboard
body: <p>So I am working on creating my own dashboard for AWS instances, I am trying to determine is there any way to get AWS cloud watch metrics log so that I can get the data and plot it in a graph.
  I have been working with AWS CLI but wasn't able to get a perfect way to resolve my query. 
  I just need the metrics like </p>
  
  <p>CPU utilization vs time</p>
  
  <p>Disk Utilization vs time</p>
  
  <p>Network Out/In vs time </p>
  
  <p>etc</p>
