Overview VictoriaMetrics is a fast, cost effective and scalable open source time series database and monitoring solution. It is a drop in replacement for Prometheus remote storage that accepts data over the Prometheus remote write, Influx line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB and CSV protocols, and answers queries in MetricsQL, a backwards compatible PromQL superset. This image delivers the VictoriaMetrics single node build fully installed and configured as a system service, so a production grade metrics database is running within minutes of launch.
Application Stack The VictoriaMetrics single node binary installed under /opt/victoriametrics and run by a dedicated unprivileged service account. The time series database stored on a dedicated data disk so the metrics store is independently resizable. A systemd service that starts the database on boot and restarts it on failure. An nginx reverse proxy that publishes the vmui web interface and the read and write APIs on port 80 behind HTTP Basic authentication.
Time Series Database Ingest metrics over the Prometheus remote write protocol, the Influx line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB or the JSON and CSV import APIs, then query them with MetricsQL or PromQL through the built in vmui interface, the Prometheus compatible HTTP API or your Grafana dashboards. VictoriaMetrics uses high compression and an efficient storage engine to keep long retention metrics on modest disk.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh admin password, unique to that instance, writes it into the nginx credentials file and writes the password to a root only file. The database binary itself binds to loopback only and is never exposed without authentication. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The vmui web interface is served on port 80 through nginx. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials to run queries, explore metrics, inspect cardinality and check database health. Point your Prometheus remote write, vmagent or Grafana data source at the instance on port 80 using the same credentials.

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
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). The vmui web interface is served on port 80: browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with user admin and the generated password. Retrieve the credentials with: sudo cat /root/victoriametrics-credentials.txt. The Prometheus compatible read API (/api/v1/query) and write API (/api/v1/write, /influx/write, /api/v1/import) are served on the same port 80 behind the same HTTP Basic credentials; point your Prometheus remote write, vmagent or Grafana data source at http://<instance-public-ip>/ with user admin. The time series database lives on a dedicated data disk mounted at /var/lib/victoria-metrics.
