How do I visualise the p95/p99 for a Cloudwatch data source in Grafana?

We're using the Cloudwatch data source in Grafana. I can see in Cloudwatch we can dynamically type in a pXX value of p95 for instance:

But in Grafana I can only see the following: Average, Maximum, Minimum, SampleCount

There's two ways to do it:

You can type in p95 into the Statistic box (the dropdown won't show you the option, but you can type it in).

Note you also can't delete the text elements - typing it in will overwrite it.

The other way I found how to do this is to add a custom variable:

I included the Maximum,Minimum,Average and then I added p95 and p90 (but you can add any p value).

You can also add any of the other statistics here:

Then in the Grafana dashboard set the variable statistic (or whatever you decide to call it) to your new variable and your graph will now show p95.
