Like stackdriver datasource, I want to set yaxis unit automatically.

GetMetricStatistics API response the metrics Unit.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricStatistics.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_Datapoint.html

By using this information, Grafana can set yaxis unit.

Hi contributors,
This feature is useful for most. Unfortunately I encountered a use case where this functionality will limit the user ability to display the data.

I am registering in CloudWatch a hit per "request" to my API, storing the time it took to process it as the metric value. The units for these values are "time" units so Grafana auto detects "ms".

Because of that, I am unable to change my units to "seconds" for example. And some of my graphs used to display the hits "count", setting the metric as "sampleCount". Because of the new enforced "unit" it is not possible to properly represent the hits count because they are not in "ms".

Any ideas on how to overcome this limitation? Am I missing something?
Maybe this feature requires further refinement?

Ok, seems the problem I described is being tracked at #13733
