Overview
Elevarq Signals is a read-only PostgreSQL diagnostic signal collector, pre-installed on an Amazon Linux 2023 AMI as a docker-run systemd service. Launch the instance, supply your database target and API token at boot, and the collector starts automatically.
What it does
- Collects diagnostic signals from PostgreSQL on a schedule and stores them locally.
- Read-only by design: never writes to your database, requires no superuser.
- Passwordless cloud auth (AWS RDS IAM) over verify-full TLS, using the instance IAM role.
- Least-privilege pg_monitor role; no telemetry or data egress to Elevarq.
How it is delivered
- Amazon Linux 2023 AMI with Docker and the pinned, signed Signals image baked in.
- No credentials are baked; configuration and the control-plane token are supplied at launch (user-data / SSM).
- Snapshots persist on a local volume; export a diagnostic snapshot with signalsctl.
Highlights
- Read-only: no writes, no superuser, safe for production
- Passwordless AWS RDS IAM over verify-full TLS via the instance role
- No telemetry or data egress; local snapshots only

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Elevarq Signals 1.0.2 - Amazon Linux 2023 AMI. Ships the read-only PostgreSQL diagnostic collector pre-installed as a docker-run systemd service (signals.service). No credentials are baked; you supply config and the API token at launch.
Launch and configure:
- Launch an instance from this AMI (t3.small recommended). For passwordless RDS IAM, attach an IAM instance role with rds-db:connect.
- Provide config at first boot via user-data or SSM:
- /etc/signals/signals.yaml : collector config and target (host, dbname, user, auth_method aws_rds_iam, sslmode verify-full, sslrootcert_file /etc/signals/rds-ca.pem).
- /etc/signals/rds-ca.pem : the RDS CA bundle for verify-full TLS.
- /etc/signals/signals.env : SIGNALS_API_TOKEN=... (root-only).
- signals.service starts on first boot once /etc/signals is populated, running the pinned image with a persistent signals-data volume.
Verify: systemctl status signals docker exec signals signalsctl status --api-token "$(grep SIGNALS_API_TOKEN /etc/signals/signals.env | cut -d= -f2)"
The collector is read-only, passwordless-capable, least-privilege (pg_monitor), and sends no telemetry to Elevarq.
