With API GW CDK it is possible today to easily get metrics at the RestAPI level like this:

RestApi restApi = new RestApi(...);
...
restApi.metricLatency();
restApi.metricServerError();
restApi.metricCount();

This is super useful. These metrics are provided by default with API GW. It is possible to get metrics at the resource level if you enable advanced Cloudwatch Metrics on the API. It would be great if we could have similar methods at the Resource level.

Use Case

If an organization uses one API Gateway RestApi with many resources in it each linked to a unique integrations then the API level metrics are not very useful. When the metrics present a problem then it is unclear which specific resource/integration is the cause of it. Being able to easily get these metrics at the resource level would resolve this.

Proposed Solution

IResource resource = new Resource(..);
...
resource.metricLatency();
resource.metricServerError();
resource.metricCount();
