Monitoring of cloud computing environments subject to different data control policies is performed in a manner that ensures compliance with the data control policies. A monitoring service is located in a remote cloud computing environment separate from the cloud computing environments being monitored. The monitoring service does not have access to restricted data in the cloud computing environments, including access control data, such that the monitoring service cannot directly interact with network devices. The monitoring service issues requests for monitoring data to device access services in the cloud computing environments. In response to the requests, the device access services obtain access control data to access the network devices and obtain the requested data, which is returned to the monitoring service.
