CloudWatch metrics for individual API gateway methods?

I would like to activate the per-method logging from API gateway to CloudWatch as described here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/how-to-api-dashboard.html (3rd item)

Is that already possible? I haven’t found any flags/properties for that…

Also looked for that and could not find. This seems very basic to me… am I missing something?

Just in case anyone struggles with this challenge - I managed to do it with the great serverless-api-stage plugin.
