Retrieve the Graylog cluster ID
When requesting an Enterprise licence, the Graylog website will ask for your cluster ID. To find it, log in to your Graylog admin panel, go to "Enterprise", then "License", and locate the cluster ID in the "Installed licenses" section.
Bear in mind that you must first activate the "Graylog Enterprise" plugin in the Stackhero dashboard (see instructions below).
Activate the Graylog Enterprise plugin
To activate the Enterprise plugin, follow these steps:
- Go to the Stackhero dashboard and select your Graylog service.
- Click on the "Configure" button.
- In the list of plugins, activate the "Graylog Enterprise" plugin and confirm the configuration.
Once the plugin is activated, the "Enterprise" link will appear in your Graylog admin panel.
Add a Graylog Enterprise licence
To add an Enterprise licence:
- Open your Graylog admin panel and click on "Enterprise".
- Select "License" and then "Import new license".
If you do not see the "Enterprise" section in the menu, it is likely that the Graylog Enterprise plugin has not been activated. Please refer to the instructions above to activate it.
