description:
 This check monitors AWS Lambda functions via CloudWatch. The special agent
 fetches the CloudWatch metrics Invocations, Errors, Throttles and Duration
 (average and maximum) per function over a configurable look-back window.

 One service is created per Lambda function. The service reports the number
 of invocations, errors (count and rate), throttles and the execution
 duration. Upper levels can be configured for errors, error rate, throttles
 and both duration values. By default the service goes {WARN}/{CRIT} on one
 or more errors or throttles in the window.

item:
 The Lambda function name.

discovery:
 One service is created for every function returned by the special agent.
