Latency and Limits graph for monitorKinesisFirehose don't work

[bschondo]

Version

v1.18.4

Steps and/or minimal code example to reproduce

1. Create a stack with kinesis firehose.
2. Setup monitoring for kinesis firehose with monitoring.monitorKinesisFirehose().
3. Deploy cdk to aws account.

Expected behavior

The graphs display information about the kinesis firhose normally.

Actual behavior

The Latency (P90) graph and the Limits (rate) graph both show now data do to their metrics being incorrect. The PutRecords and PutRecordsBatch metrics for kinesis firehose don't support percentiles so the Latency graph doesn't display any data. Also the DeliveryStreamName dimension isn't isn't specified for BytesPerSecondLimit so the Limits graph doesn't display any data.

Other details

Limits graphs are fixed by #378

regarding to Latency graph, I think the issue should be raised with AWS CloudWatch service, as per Doc indicated, Kinesis metric should support percentile.

Another thing worth checking is the region where your kinesis firehose is deployed. According to the news release here from 2016, only the following regions are supported US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), S. America (São Paulo), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and Asia Pacific (Sydney). (this could have changed since then).
