Aws multi account metric beat setup

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi Team,
Is there any way I can achieve one metricbeat.yml configuration to fetch aws cloudwatch metrics from multiple aws account and each account need seperate indexes something like like metrics-cloud-[Account-Number/Account-Name]-Date?

Yes u can duplicate the configs, will probably just need different keys to connect to the different accounts.

- module: aws
  period: 5m
  metricsets:
    - cloudwatch
  metrics:
    - namespace: AWS/EC2
      #name: ["CPUUtilization", "DiskWriteOps"]
      resource_type: ec2:instance
      #dimensions:
      #  - name: InstanceId
      #    value: i-0686946e22cf9494a
      #statistic: ["Average", "Maximum"]
  access_key_id: xxx
  secret_access_key: xxx

- module: aws
  period: 5m
  metricsets:
    - cloudwatch
  metrics:
    - namespace: AWS/EC2
      #name: ["CPUUtilization", "DiskWriteOps"]
      resource_type: ec2:instance
      #dimensions:
      #  - name: InstanceId
      #    value: i-0686946e22cf9494a
      #statistic: ["Average", "Maximum"]
....

The u can do different indices following Configure the Elasticsearch output | Filebeat Reference [7.14] | Elastic

Thanks for providing the solution. Better to use role rather than access key to avoid hardcoding
