Overview
Aguilar Server Monitor Pro is a lightweight, self-contained monitoring dashboard for a single Ubuntu EC2 instance, built by Aguilar Technology Productions LLC, a cloud infrastructure and DevOps consultancy, for teams who want reliable, day-to-day visibility into server health without standing up a full observability stack.
Launch the AMI, open your browser, and get a secure, password-protected dashboard showing the metrics that matter: CPU, memory, disk, uptime, network, and the status of the core services running on the box.
Why Aguilar Server Monitor Pro
Zero setup: Nginx, Node.js, PM2, and SQLite are pre-installed and pre-configured. The dashboard is live as soon as the instance boots.
Built for one job: a focused server monitoring tool, not a bloated enterprise platform. No Kubernetes, no external database, no agents to manage.
Secure by default: hashed credentials, session-based authentication, and a minimal open port surface (22, 80, 443 only).
Licensed the simple way: access is gated by your active AWS Marketplace contract. No manual license keys to manage.
What you get on the dashboard
- Hostname, OS, and kernel version
- Current time and timezone
- CPU usage and load average
- Memory and disk usage
- System uptime
- Public and private IP addresses
- Live status for Nginx, PM2, and SQLite
- Auto-refresh every 30 seconds
Who it's for
- Developers and small teams who want a single-glance health check on a production or staging box
- Cloud and DevOps engineers who need a fast, no-frills monitor for a standalone instance
- SMEs and organizations already working with a cloud consultancy who want reliable day-to-day tooling alongside their infrastructure work
- Students and learners exploring AWS EC2, Linux administration, and server monitoring fundamentals
Licensing
Aguilar Server Monitor Pro uses AWS Marketplace contract pricing. Choose a 1-month, 12-month, or 36-month term at subscription time. The instance validates your entitlement automatically, no separate license key required. If your contract lapses, the dashboard displays a clear "Subscription Required" notice until it's renewed.
Getting started
After launch, allow a minute for first-boot configuration, then browse to your instance's public IP or DNS name and log in with the credentials generated at first boot (see the Getting Started Guide in Support Resources).
Highlights
- Live CPU, memory, disk, uptime, and service-status monitoring for one EC2 instance in a clean web dashboard, no agents, no external dependencies, no configuration required beyond launching the instance.
- Secure by design: hashed, session-based authentication and a minimal three-port footprint (22/80/443). No stored AWS keys, secrets, or credentials ship in the AMI.
- Simple contract licensing, subscribe for 1, 12, or 36 months directly through AWS Marketplace. Entitlement is validated automatically; no license keys to track.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Thanks for choosing Aguilar Server Monitor Pro. Here's how to get your dashboard up and running.
After you launch this AMI (recommended: t3.small, with ports 22, 80, and 443 open in your security group), give it about a minute to finish starting up automatically - there's nothing for you to install or configure.
Getting your login: Connect to your instance over SSH and retrieve your unique first-boot password (generated just for you, never reused):
ssh -i your-key.pem ubuntu@your-instance-public-ip sudo cat /var/log/aguilar-server-monitor/first-boot-credentials.log
Signing in: Open your browser to your instance's public IP address, using the plain HTTP protocol (not HTTPS - a certificate isn't pre-installed since it would need your own domain name). Sign in with the admin username and the password you just retrieved, then head straight to Settings to set a password of your own.
Once you're in: Your Dashboard shows live CPU, memory, disk, uptime, and service status for your instance, refreshing automatically every 30 seconds - no further setup needed.
If you ever see "Subscription Required," it just means we couldn't confirm an active contract for your instance - refresh the page after subscribing/renewing and it'll re-check automatically, as many times as you need.
