WHAT IS INFLUXDB
Show the rest of the publisher’s description (17 more lines)
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database purpose-built for high write and query loads on timestamped data - infrastructure and application metrics, application events, IoT and sensor telemetry, and real-time analytics. This AMI ships the 2.x line: a single Go server (influxd) with a built-in web UI, a token-authenticated HTTP API on port 8086, and two query languages - Flux and InfluxQL. Features include unbounded retention policies, downsampling tasks, dashboards, alerting checks, and the line-protocol write API compatible with Telegraf and the broad InfluxData client ecosystem (Go, Python, JavaScript, Java, and more). Data persists to a local bolt metadata store and TSM storage engine under a dedicated data directory. MIT license, no vendor lock-in - distinct from the managed InfluxDB Cloud service.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Native TLS on port 8086 - a per-instance self-signed certificate is generated at first boot (no shared key baked into the image); swap in your own CA certificate anytime
- Admin user, password, and an all-access operator token generated at first boot - written to /root/influxdb-credentials.txt (readable only by root)
- Usage telemetry disabled
- HTTP API and web UI require token / login authentication; unauthenticated API calls are refused
- UFW firewall - SSH on 22 and InfluxDB on 8086 only
- fail2ban, AppArmor
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
Highlighted by the publisher on AWS Marketplace.
InfluxDB security baked in: native TLS with a per-instance self-signed certificate generated at first boot, admin user + password + all-access operator token created at first boot, usage telemetry disabled - unlike bare InfluxDB AMIs that serve plaintext HTTP, sit on an unconfigured setup screen, and phone home telemetry by default.
CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
Self-hosted time series database for metrics, events, and IoT data: built-in Flux and InfluxQL, web UI and HTTP API on port 8086, unbounded retention. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.

1 repoUnknown means this listing does not publish a repository. It is not a statement that the code is closed, and a linked repository is not a claim that the publisher wrote it: the registry computes that relationship privately and does not publish it.
Evidence risk is the share of the build you cannot see before you deploy, not a security rating. Sign in to see the layer-by-layer basis for this band.
