Grafana: Connecting Grafana to PostgreSQL

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. You can view the complete guide here: How to get started with Grafana.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides you with a ready-to-use Grafana cloud environment, designed for rapid deployment and reliable performance:

• Unlimited users, dashboards, and alerts: scale your monitoring as required, with no artificial restrictions.
• A dedicated SMTP email server is included, allowing you to send as many notifications as you need, with no quotas to monitor.
• One-click plugin installation makes it easy to add new features to Grafana.
• Built-in SSO support for GitLab, GitHub, Google, and any generic OAuth2 provider. User management remains straightforward and secure.
• One-click updates ensure your Grafana instance stays up to date, with no downtime or maintenance headaches.
• Use your own custom domain with automated HTTPS provisioning for secure, branded access (for example, https://grafana.your-company.com).
• High performance and enhanced security come as standard, running on your own private, dedicated infrastructure.

Get started more quickly and save time on setup: a secure Grafana cloud hosting instance is ready in around 5 minutes.

Log in to your Grafana web panel and navigate to Configuration / Data sources / Add a data source.

Select the data source labelled "PostgreSQL" and complete the form with the following information:

1. In "Host", enter your PostgreSQL service domain (for example, <XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:5432).
2. In "Database", enter your PostgreSQL database name (by default, this is admin).
3. In both "User" and "Password", enter your PostgreSQL credentials (the default user is admin and the password is the one specified in your PostgreSQL service configuration).
