👋 Welcome to Stackhero documentation

• Apply updates easily with a single click, with no manual intervention required.
• Use a custom domain name secured by HTTPS (for example, https://logs.your-company.com), providing your team with secure, direct access.

Focus on your data, not your tools: you can get started with Stackhero's Graylog cloud hosting solution in just a few minutes.

For advanced users, Graylog allows you to view and manually adjust index mappings:

• Go to "System" > "Indices" in the Graylog web interface.
• Select the relevant index.
• Navigate to "Configuration" > "Configure index field types" to view or modify the field mappings.

However, manual changes should be made with caution, as incorrect mappings can lead to further ingestion issues.
