Real-time CPU, memory, disk, and service monitoring for a single Ubuntu EC2 instance, in a clean web dashboard. No agents, no complexity.
Overview
Brenda Server Monitor Pro is a lightweight, self contained monitoring dashboard for a single Ubuntu EC2 instance, built for teams and individuals who want clear visibility into server health without standing up a full observability stack.
Launch the AMI, open your browser, and get a secure, password protected dashboard showing the metrics that matter: CPU, memory, disk, uptime, network, and the status of the core services running on the box.
Why Brenda Server Monitor Pro
Zero setup Nginx, Node.js, PM2, and SQLite are pre-installed and pre-configured. The dashboard is live as soon as the instance boots.
Built for one job, a focused server monitoring dashboard, not a bloated enterprise platform. No Kubernetes, no external database, no agents to manage.
Secure by default, hashed credentials, session based authentication, and a minimal open port surface. Licensed the simple way, access is gated by your active AWS Marketplace contract. No manual license keys to manage.
Highlights
- Live CPU, memory, disk, uptime, and service-status monitoring for one EC2 instance in a clean Bootstrap dashboard, no agents, no external dependencies, no configuration required beyond launching the instance.
- Secure by design: hashed, session-based authentication and a minimal three-port footprint. No stored AWS keys, secrets, or credentials ship in the AMI.
- Simple contract licensing, subscribe monthly, yearly, or for three years directly through AWS Marketplace. Entitlement is validated automatically; no license keys to track.

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
Thanks for choosing Brenda Server Monitor Pro. Here's how to get your dashboard up and running.
After you launch this AMI (recommended: t3.small, with ports 22, 80, and 443 open in your security group), give it about a minute to finish starting up automatically - there's nothing for you to install or configure.
Getting your login: Connect to your instance over SSH and retrieve your unique first-boot password (generated just for you, never reused):
ssh -i your-key.pem ubuntu@your-instance-public-ip sudo cat /var/log/brenda-server-monitor/first-boot-credentials.log
Signing in: Open your browser to http://your-instance-public-ip/ (use http, not https - a certificate isn't pre-installed since it would need your own domain name). Sign in with the admin username and the password you just retrieved, then head straight to Settings to set a password of your own.
Once you're in: Your Dashboard shows live CPU, memory, disk, uptime, and service status for your instance, refreshing automatically every 30 seconds - no further setup needed.
If you ever see "Subscription Required," it just means we couldn't confirm an active contract for your instance - refresh the page after subscribing/renewing and it'll re-check automatically, as many times as you need.
