Amazon CloudWatch Centralization aggregates logs from multiple AWS accounts and regions into a single destination account. The addition of tag propagation ensures that tags such as Application and CostCenter assigned to source log groups are copied and kept in sync with corresponding centralized log groups, facilitating consistent resource tracking and access control.
This synchronization enables teams to apply IAM policies and cost reporting effectively on aggregated logs by preserving original metadata. The feature is available in all AWS regions supporting CloudWatch Centralization and can be activated via console, CLI, or SDK.
