Overview
This AMI runs a self-hosted infrastructure monitoring platform with PostgreSQL 17 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: a collector, a web interface for dashboards, hosts, items, triggers and problems, and a JSON-RPC API, to watch servers, network devices and applications and raise alerts. The upstream vendor images, release 7.0.32, are pinned together with PostgreSQL 17.11 and baked into the AMI, so first start does not depend on a registry.
What Perimattic adds
No default login: a fresh install of this software ships a documented administrator account with a well-known password. At first login this AMI renames that account to your admin email address and sets a random 24-character password generated on your server, using the application's own API, before anything is published. There are no default or shared credentials in the image. Apache provides HTTPS with a free Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain.
Limits you should know
The collector's port 10051, where agents on other machines send their data, is not published and your security group should not open it unless you also publish it in /opt/app/docker-compose.yml yourself. Passive checks, where the server contacts your hosts, work as soon as those hosts' agent ports are reachable from this server. The included agent reports on its own container only, not on the EC2 host. No mail server is configured, so alert emails need your own mail settings in the web interface. The database role used by the application is a PostgreSQL superuser, reachable only inside the Docker network. Data is stored in /opt/app/postgres on the root volume, so choose the root EBS volume size for the number of hosts and the retention you configure, and take EBS snapshots for backup. The web interface shows the application's own name and branding.
In our tests the whole host used about 0.9 GB of memory when idle on a t3.medium (database 150 to 200 MB, collector about 120 MB, web interface about 100 MB, agent about 60 MB), and a t3.small (2 GB) passed all tests. A t3.medium (4 GB) is the recommended starting size; monitoring many hosts needs more memory and disk.

Getting Started Launch the AMI and open ports 22, 80 and 443 in the security group SSH in and answer the setup prompts (domain and admin email) Open https://your-domain and sign in with your email address and the password printed at the end of setup Add your hosts and your mail settings in the web interface
A domain name with an A record pointing at the instance is required, because the site is served over HTTPS.
This AMI is built and supported by Perimattic.

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
Initial release.
- Application: Infrastructure Monitoring 7.0.32 (container image pinned, baked into the AMI).
- Base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched at build time, built by an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline.
- TLS: Apache reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt certificate requested by certbot at first login.
- Credentials are generated on the instance at first login; none are present in the image.
- The built-in default administrator login is replaced at first login by your email and a random 24-character password through the application's API; setup verifies that the default login, a wrong password, a stranger and the guest user are refused, that guest access is off and that anonymous API requests are refused before the site is published.
- Application: upstream infrastructure monitoring release 7.0.32 (AGPL-3.0; unmodified official images) with PostgreSQL 17.11 (all pinned). See the product description for the licence and attribution notice.
- The collector port 10051 is not published; no SMTP is configured.
- Database: reachable only inside the Docker network.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
-
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
t3.medium (4 GB of memory) is the recommended starting size: the whole host used about 0.9 GB when idle in our tests (a t3.small also passed). Monitoring many hosts needs more memory, CPU and disk; add your own mail settings for alert emails.
-
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - terminal access for setup
- 80 (HTTP) - needed to validate your domain for the TLS certificate
- 443 (HTTPS) - access to Infrastructure Monitoring
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example monitoring.example.com) pointing to the instance's public IP before you log in.
-
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
-
First-Login Setup
The first SSH login runs a guided setup:
- Prompts for your domain and admin email and checks the DNS A record
- Generates a random 24-character administrator password and a database password on your server
- Starts PostgreSQL, the collector, the web interface and the agent; the first start imports the database schema
- Replaces the built-in default administrator login with your email and the generated password through the API, and checks that guest access is off
- Checks that the documented default login, a wrong password, a stranger and the guest user are refused and that anonymous API calls are refused
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL and the administrator credentials; they are also stored in /opt/app/access.txt (root only)
If a step fails, fix the problem shown and log in again: the setup resumes where it stopped.
-
Access Infrastructure Monitoring
Open https://<your-domain> and sign in with your email address and the generated password (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). Add your hosts and your mail settings in the web interface.
-
Credentials
Generated on your server, never shared between customers. View them again with:
sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt
-
Manage the Services
cd /opt/app sudo docker compose ps sudo docker compose restart
Data is in the PostgreSQL database in /opt/app/postgres: back up all of /opt/app or snapshot the volume before upgrades. The collector's port 10051 is not published; passive checks need the monitored hosts' agent ports to be reachable from this server. No SMTP server is configured: add your own mail settings for alert emails. The included agent monitors its own container only. This listing relies on factual use of the upstream name in the attribution notice only; the product is not affiliated with its vendor.
