CloudWatch cross-account observability dashboard
If you have multiple Amazon accounts, you can set up CloudWatch cross-account observability and then create rich cross-account dashboards in your monitoring accounts. You can seamlessly search, visualize, and analyze your metrics, logs, and traces without account boundaries.
For more information about setting up CloudWatch cross-account observability, see CloudWatch cross-account observability.
With CloudWatch cross-account observability, you can do the following in a dashboard in a monitoring account:
Search, view, and create graphs of metrics that reside in source accounts. A single graph can include metrics from multiple accounts.
Create alarms in the monitoring account that watch metrics in source accounts.
View the log events from log groups located in source accounts, and run CloudWatch Logs Insights queries of log groups in source accounts. A single CloudWatch Logs Insights query in a monitoring account can query multiple log groups in multiple source accounts at once.
View nodes from source accounts in a trace map in X-Ray. You can then filter the map to specific source accounts.
When you are signed in to a monitoring account, a blue Monitoring account badge appears at the top right of every page that supports CloudWatch cross-account observability functionality.
