OpenObserve 1.1.2 (AGPL-3.0, community edition) on Ubuntu 24.04: logs, metrics and traces in one place with SQL search and dashboards, behind HTTPS with a generated root password and every API closed to anonymous callers.
Overview
This AMI runs OpenObserve, an observability platform for logs, metrics and traces, on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Your applications send logs, metrics and traces to it over HTTP (JSON, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus remote write and other formats), and you search them with SQL, build dashboards and set alerts in its web interface. It is the unmodified community edition, release v1.1.2, pinned and baked into the AMI, so first start does not depend on a registry. Data is stored on the instance's local disk.
What Perimattic adds
Setup and login: a root user is created on the first start from your admin email and a random 24-character password generated on your server at first login. The password is given to OpenObserve in a settings file readable only by root and the container's group, not as an environment variable, so it does not appear in the container's environment. Setup then checks that the password works, that a wrong password, admin/admin and the vendor's published default root login are refused, that the log, metric and trace ingestion endpoints and the query, user and organisation APIs refuse anonymous callers, that nobody can sign up, and that a test log line can be ingested and searched, before the site is published.
Quiet by default: the telemetry that OpenObserve sends to its vendor by default is switched off, and so is the public Prometheus endpoint. The configured data retention is 30 days. OpenObserve runs as an unprivileged user and listens only on the loopback interface.
HTTPS: Apache is configured as a reverse proxy and a free Let's Encrypt certificate is requested for your domain with certbot. The tests ingest logs and traces through Apache with the password (JSON and OpenTelemetry over HTTP), search them, reboot the server and find the data again. Pinned and patched: the version is fixed, not 'latest', and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is built through an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline with security updates applied at build time.
Limits you should know
This is the community edition on a single node with local disk storage: single sign-on, advanced roles, audit trails, federated search, sensitive-data redaction and the other paid-edition features are not included, and the web interface shows upgrade prompts for them. The login page, the build information page, the health check and the API documentation page are public by design; no data is. Storage has no size limit: size the root volume for your ingestion rate times 30 days. The application used about 200 to 400 MB of memory in our tests (about 750 to 950 MB for the whole host); production volumes need a larger instance.
Licence and attribution
Built on the open-source OpenObserve (AGPL-3.0 licence), unmodified community edition. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the OpenObserve project; OpenObserve is a trademark of its owner.
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 admin email and the password printed at the end of setup Send your first logs with the curl example printed at the end of setup
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: OpenObserve 1.1.2 (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 root user is created on first start from the admin email and a random 24-character password generated at first login, given to the application in a settings file (not the container environment); every ingestion and query API refuses anonymous callers, sign-up is closed, and setup verifies all of this before the site is published.
- OpenObserve 1.1.2 community edition (AGPL-3.0, unmodified official image) runs as an unprivileged user on the loopback interface; vendor telemetry and the public metrics endpoint are off; data is kept on local disk for 30 days.
- Paid-edition features (single sign-on, advanced roles, audit trails, federated search, sensitive-data redaction) are not included.
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.large (8 GB of memory) is the recommended starting size: the application used about 200 to 400 MB in our tests (about 750 to 950 MB for the whole host), but real log and trace volumes need memory for search and indexing. Choose m5.xlarge or larger and a bigger volume for heavy ingestion.
-
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 OpenObserve
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example observe.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 root password on your server and writes it to a settings file readable only by root and the container's group
- Starts OpenObserve, then checks that the password works, that a wrong password, admin/admin and the default root login are refused, that every ingestion and query API refuses anonymous callers, that sign-up is closed, and that a test log line can be ingested and searched
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy (with websocket support) and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL, login and password; 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 OpenObserve
Open https://<your-domain>/ and sign in with your admin email and the password printed at the end of setup (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). The same file shows how to send logs and OpenTelemetry data and how to change settings such as the retention.
-
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 /opt/app/data (local disk, kept for 30 days); back it up or take EBS snapshots before upgrades. Settings, including the root password, are in /opt/app/conf/settings.env (readable by root and the container's group only).
