Our AWS CloudWatch collection method queries the CloudWatch API, so LogicMonitor should be able to pull in anything exposed by the CloudWatch API.  Currently, datasources that use the AWS CloudWatch collection method can only be applied to monitored AWS resources in LogicMonitor.  However, we're working on making it possible to apply AWS CloudWatch datasources to regular (including non-AWS) devices in LogicMonitor.  This means you could have an arbitrary device monitored in LM with an applied datasource that collects your custom CloudWatch metrics - would that meet your needs?  I’d be interested to hear more about your use case for this.
