Is there anyway to retrieve CloudWatch RDS data by instance tag?

Question

Is there any way to query CloudWatch RDS data by instance tag? Pretty much sums it up. We want to view all of our production databases, which are tagged, but it seems like the only dimension you can filter with by instance name, type, size, etc. not tags. Am I missing something?

The dimensions that CloudWatch metrics are delivered in are determined by each service that delivers them. The dimensions for RDS don't contain tag values, so there's no way to filter the RDS metrics in the CloudWatch console based on tags.

The metrics dimensions for RDS are documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/dimensions.html
