Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for a configuration-monitoring service of a service provider network to provide users with the ability to access to configuration data across multiple accounts using a single account or other centralized access point. The configuration-monitoring service may allow users with multiple accounts registered with the service provider network to designate a central account (or “aggregator account”) through which the users can access and review configuration data across multiple accounts (or “source accounts”) and/or multiple regions (or “source regions”). After determining an aggregator account, the configuration-monitoring service may begin collecting configuration data from the source accounts and/or source regions, and transporting the configuration data to the aggregator region to be accessed using the aggregator account. The user may use their aggregator account to view a dashboard that presents the configuration data from the source accounts and/or source regions along with configuration data for the aggregator account.
