Overview
Elevarq Signals is an open-source (BSD-3-Clause) diagnostic collector for PostgreSQL that runs entirely inside your own AWS environment. It connects to a managed database, collects a structured, read-only diagnostic snapshot on a schedule, and keeps every byte local — no telemetry, and no diagnostic-data egress to Elevarq.
Your data stays in your account
- The only outbound calls are the cloud-authentication and TLS requests you configure, made to your own AWS services.
- Snapshots are written locally and exported as a portable archive for downstream analysis.
Read-only by design
- Read-only access is enforced by three independent layers.
- Unsafe roles (superuser, replication) are blocked before collection begins.
Passwordless onboarding on Amazon RDS and Aurora
- Connect with RDS IAM authentication — no long-lived database password to store or rotate.
- Or use a cloud secret store: AWS Secrets Manager or AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
- Every connection uses verify-full TLS and a least-privilege pg_monitor role.
Production-ready packaging
- Signed, multi-architecture container (linux/amd64 and linux/arm64), shipped with an SBOM.
- Helm chart for Amazon EKS with liveness/readiness probes, least-privilege security contexts, and a persistent volume for local snapshots.
Highlights
- Read-only by design: three independent enforcement layers, with unsafe roles (superuser, replication) blocked before collection starts
- Passwordless onboarding to Amazon RDS and Aurora via RDS IAM (or a cloud secret store) over verify-full TLS with a least-privilege pg_monitor role
- Local-first: no telemetry and no diagnostic-data egress to Elevarq; signed multi-arch container and Helm chart for Amazon EKS

Helm chart (Amazon EKS)
- Amazon EKS
Helm chart
Helm charts are Kubernetes YAML manifests combined into a single package that can be installed on Kubernetes clusters. The containerized application is deployed on a cluster by running a single Helm install command to install the seller-provided Helm chart.
Version release notes
Elevarq Signals 1.5.1. Scheduled export now delivers natively to Amazon S3: export_dest / SIGNALS_EXPORT_DEST accepts an s3://bucket/prefix URI, uploading each per-database export ZIP with a single least-privilege PutObject (default AWS credential chain / IRSA, no static keys), server-side encrypted (SSE-S3 by default, SSE-KMS via export_s3_kms_key_id), which closes the Cloud delivery path with no external uploader. The Helm chart exposes first-class export.onCollect, export.dest, and export.s3 (region, kmsKeyId) values. Fixes: the container HEALTHCHECK now honors the configured API port (SIGNALS_LISTEN_ADDR) instead of a hardcoded 8081, so a non-default port no longer makes a working collector report unhealthy (#474); a non-writable data directory now fails early with an actionable message naming the directory and uid instead of a misleading WAL open error (#473); the Marketplace publish tooling fails closed on unset change-set template variables (#470). Filesystem export behaviour is unchanged.

Usage instructions
Elevarq Signals 1.5.1 - Helm chart install on Amazon EKS.
The chart enables persistence by default, so a fresh EKS cluster needs the Amazon EBS CSI driver and a StorageClass before install.
-
Subscribe on AWS Marketplace to grant your account pull access to the Marketplace ECR repositories.
-
Prepare durable EBS storage. Install the EBS CSI driver via IRSA and create an encrypted gp3 StorageClass:
eksctl utils associate-iam-oidc-provider --cluster <cluster> --region us-east-1 --approve eksctl create iamserviceaccount --cluster <cluster> --region us-east-1 --namespace kube-system --name ebs-csi-controller-sa --role-name signals-ebs-csi-<cluster> --role-only --attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AmazonEBSCSIDriverPolicy --approve eksctl create addon --cluster <cluster> --region us-east-1 --name aws-ebs-csi-driver --service-account-role-arn arn:aws:iam::<account>:role/signals-ebs-csi-<cluster> --force --wait
Then create a StorageClass named signals-gp3 (provisioner ebs.csi.aws.com, volumeBindingMode WaitForFirstConsumer, allowVolumeExpansion true, parameters type gp3 and encrypted true).
- Authenticate Helm to the Marketplace registry:
aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1 | helm registry login --username AWS --password-stdin <marketplace-ecr-registry>
- Install the chart. Put config in signals-values.yaml (target host, dbname, user; authMethod aws_rds_iam; sslmode verify-full; and persistence.storageClass signals-gp3):
helm install signals oci://<marketplace-ecr-registry>/elevarq/elevarq-signals-chart --version 1.5.1 --namespace signals --create-namespace -f signals-values.yaml
- Wait for storage and workload readiness:
kubectl -n signals wait --for=jsonpath='{.status.phase}'=Bound pvc/signals-signals-data --timeout=5m kubectl -n signals rollout status deployment/signals-signals --timeout=5m
- Verify. The Deployment is named <release>-signals, so with release name signals it is signals-signals:
kubectl -n signals exec deployment/signals-signals -- signalsctl status kubectl -n signals exec deployment/signals-signals -- signalsctl export --output /data/snapshot.zip
Signals connects passwordless over verify-full TLS with a least-privilege pg_monitor role and sends no telemetry to Elevarq. Complete the one-time database role grant (CREATE ROLE signals, GRANT rds_iam, GRANT pg_monitor) per the product documentation.
