Explanation

Create a metric filter on the log data. Percentile (p) indicates the relative standing of a value in a dataset. For example, p95 is the 95th percentile and means that 95 percent of the data within the period is lower than this value and 5 percent of the data is higher than this value. Percentiles help you get a better understanding of the distribution of your metric data. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Statistics-definitions.html
