/**
 * Used to control the default AWS SDK metric collection system.
 * <p>
 * The default metric collection of the Java AWS SDK is disabled by default. To
 * enable it, simply specify the system property
 * <b>"com.amazonaws.sdk.enableDefaultMetrics"</b> when starting up the JVM.
 * When the system property is specified, a default metric collector will be
 * started at the AWS SDK level. The default implementation uploads the
 * request/response metrics captured to Amazon CloudWatch using AWS credentials
 * obtained via the {@link DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain}.
 * <p>
 * By default, the metrics are uploaded to the us-east-1 region. You can
 * change the region by changing the system property as
 * -Dcom.amazonaws.sdk.enableDefaultMetrics=cloudwatchRegion={newregion}
 * See #CLOUDWATCH_REGION
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For additional optional attributes that can be specified for the system
 * property, please read the javadoc of the individual fields of
 * this class for more details.
 * <p>
 * Instead of via system properties, the default AWS SDK metric collection can
 * also be enabled programmatically via {@link #enableDefaultMetrics()}.
 * Similarly, metric collection at the AWS SDK level can be disabled via
 * {@link #disableMetrics()}.
 * <p>
 * Clients who needs to fully customize the metric collection can implement the
 * SPI {@link MetricCollector}, and then replace the default AWS SDK
 * implementation of the collector via
 * {@link #setMetricCollector(MetricCollector)}.
 * <p>
 * Alternatively, for limited customization of the internal collector
 * implementation provided by the AWS SDK, one can extend the internal Amazon
 * CloudWatch metric collector. See the javadoc at
 * com.amazonaws.metrics.internal.cloudwatch.CloudWatchMetricConfig for more
 * details.
