HAQM CloudWatch Network Monitoring adds multi-account support for flow monitors

Posted on: May 6, 2025

HAQM CloudWatch Network Monitoring now allows you to monitor network performance of your AWS workloads that span multiple accounts by using flow monitors. Flow monitors provide near real-time visibility of network performance for workloads between compute instances such as HAQM EC2 and HAQM EKS, and AWS services such as HAQM S3, HAQM RDS, and HAQM DynamoDB, enabling you to rapidly detect and attribute network-driven impairments for your workloads. By integrating with AWS Organizations, flow monitors now allow you to monitor network performance of your AWS workloads that span multiple accounts.

Multi-account support enables a unified onboarding experience so that you as a network administrator can enable flow monitors across all accounts that own the different resources that need to be monitored. As a result, you get visibility of network paths for workloads that cross multiple accounts. With multi-account support for flow monitors, you also get a unified view of network performance metrics for flows that span multiple accounts.
