Amazon CloudWatch now supports cross-account metrics centralization

Posted on: Jun 15, 2026

Today, Amazon Web Services announces the general availability of Amazon CloudWatch Metrics Centralization, which enables you to replicate CloudWatch metrics cross-account and cross-region into a single destination account.

Enterprise teams with complex multi-account, multi-region deployments often need a unified view of their operational health across their entire infrastructure. CloudWatch metrics centralization solves this by letting you define centralization rules through AWS Organizations that automatically replicate metrics from source accounts and regions into a centralized destination account. Central teams gain full ownership of the data for querying, alarming, compliance, and governance. Centralized metrics work with both CloudWatch and OpenTelemetry metrics, and are fully compatible with Metrics Insights, dashboards, alarms, Metric Math, anomaly detection, Metric Streams, and PromQL.

CloudWatch Metrics Centralization is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo).
