Grafana + Prometheus is a complete open-source observability stack - Grafana dashboards backed by a Prometheus time-series database, pre-wired so you can query metrics the moment you log in. Unlike bare Grafana AMIs that ship with the default admin/admin password, no TLS, an exposed metrics database, and usage reporting left on, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: a unique Grafana admin password generated at first launch, an Nginx TLS reverse proxy on 443, Prometheus bound to localhost only, telemetry disabled, the Prometheus data source provisioned as default, UFW firewall, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
Grafana OSS is AGPL-3.0; Prometheus is Apache-2.0 - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS GRAFANA + PROMETHEUS
Grafana is a Go-based analytics and visualization platform that turns time-series metrics into interactive dashboards, panels, and alerts; Prometheus is a Go-based monitoring system and time-series database that scrapes and stores metrics over HTTP. In this bundle Grafana is the front door and Prometheus is the metrics backend - the two are pre-connected, with Prometheus added to Grafana as the default data source so you can open Explore and run PromQL queries (for example, "up") immediately. Prometheus scrapes itself and Grafana out of the box and is sized with a 15-day local retention window; add your own scrape targets to monitor application and infrastructure metrics. Grafana persists dashboards, users, and settings in an embedded SQLite database; Prometheus stores samples in its on-disk TSDB. Grafana OSS is AGPL-3.0 and Prometheus is Apache-2.0, so the entire stack is auditable with no vendor lock-in. Running your own stack keeps all metrics and dashboards inside your AWS account.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- A unique Grafana admin password generated at first launch (the default admin/admin is rotated away)
- Nginx reverse proxy with TLS - Grafana proxied on port 443
- Prometheus (port 9090) bound to localhost only - Grafana is the only exposed UI
- Grafana usage reporting and update checks disabled (no phone-home)
- Prometheus provisioned as the default Grafana data source
- UFW firewall - ports 22, 80, 443 only
- fail2ban, AppArmor
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- Grafana security baked in: a unique admin password generated at first launch, Nginx TLS on 443, Prometheus bound to localhost only, and usage reporting disabled - unlike bare Grafana AMIs that ship with the default admin/admin password, no TLS, and the metrics database exposed.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Works the moment you log in: Prometheus is pre-wired as Grafana's default data source and already scraping. Grafana OSS AGPL-3.0 + Prometheus Apache-2.0 - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

Dimension | Cost/hour |

m6i.2xlarge | $0.05 |
m6i.large | $0.05 |
t3.large | $0.05 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose to run this hardened observability image. All four options bill the same way: an hourly software charge that runs while your instance is active, on top of your AWS infrastructure costs. The t3.large and m6i.large give you a base level of compute. The m6i.xlarge and m6i.2xlarge step up to more CPU and memory. Pick the size that matches your workload; heavier monitoring needs suit the larger instances. There are no upfront commitments or term contracts.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each option bills per instance-hour of a specific EC2 instance type: t3.large, m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, or m6i.2xlarge. One unit is one running instance of that type for one hour. The charge reflects the compute size you launch, not the number of dashboards or metrics you monitor.
The hourly software charge accrues only while your instance runs. A stopped instance stops the software metering. You may still pay AWS for attached storage on a stopped instance, but that is an AWS infrastructure cost, not the software charge for this image.
Each image ships on a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. It includes CVE scanning, a bundled software bill of materials, a conformance report, firewall, and unique credentials generated at first boot. This applies to all four instance options equally.

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.
Version release notes
Grafana 13.1.1 + Prometheus 3.12.0
- Grafana 13.1.1 - open-source observability, dashboards, and alerting (patch update from 13.1.0). AGPL-3.0 unchanged
- Prometheus 3.12.0 - pre-wired metrics data source (unchanged)
- Certbot pre-installed - enable a trusted HTTPS certificate with one command: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
- Rebuilt on the latest CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (m6i.xlarge recommended)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 and TCP 80 from your IP
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/grafana-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP> in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
- Log in with the admin user and the generated password from the credentials file
- Go to Explore, select Prometheus, and run a query such as "up" - the data source is already connected
The default admin/admin password is rotated to a unique value at first launch. The Prometheus data source is pre-configured as default; Prometheus listens on localhost only and is reached through Grafana. Credentials are saved to /root/grafana-credentials.txt at first boot. Prometheus keeps 15 days of local metrics by default; add scrape targets in /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml and run: sudo systemctl reload prometheus Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate (sudo certbot --nginx) for production use.
