This documentation is part of the Using Prometheus guide. You can view the complete guide here: How to configure Grafana to use Prometheus as a data source.

👋 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.

Grafana supports pre-configured dashboards for the Blackbox Exporter. To add one:

  1. In the Grafana UI, go to Create > Import.
  2. Enter one of the following IDs: 7587, 11175, 11529, or 13659, and click Load.
  3. Select your Prometheus data source and click Import.

This process adds a dashboard designed for Blackbox Exporter data visualisation. Use the Job selector at the top left to focus on specific instances.
