#### Period macro
If you're using a CloudWatch [`SEARCH`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/search-expression-syntax.html) expression, you may want to use the `$__period_auto` macro rather than specifying a period explicitly. The `$__period_auto` macro will resolve to a [CloudWatch period](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_GetMetricData.html) that is suitable for the chosen time range.

### Getting started
## Cross-account observability
To enable cross-account observability, first enable it in CloudWatch using the official [CloudWatch docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Unified-Cross-Account.html), then add [two new API actions]({{< relref "../#cross-account-observability" >}}) to the IAM policy attached to the role/user running the plugin.
The CloudWatch plugin allows monitoring and troubleshooting applications that span multiple accounts within a region. Using cross-account observability, you can seamlessly search, visualize, and analyze metrics and logs without worrying about account boundaries.
### Get started
To enable cross-account observability, complete the following steps:
1. Go to the [Amazon CloudWatch docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Unified-Cross-Account.html) and follow the instructions on enabling cross-account observability.
1. Add [two API actions](/docs/grafana/latest/datasources/aws-cloudwatch/#cross-account-observability-permissions) to the IAM policy attached to the role/user running the plugin.
Cross-account querying is available in the plugin through the `Logs` mode and the `Metric search` mode. Once you have it configured correctly, you'll see a "Monitoring account" badge displayed in the query editor header.
