👋 Welcome to Stackhero documentation

Stackhero offers a fully managed Graylog cloud solution designed for speed and simplicity. You can:

• Rely on an unlimited, dedicated SMTP email server included with your service.
• Apply updates effortlessly 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.
• Benefit from strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure, with no shared resources or noisy neighbours.

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

Graylog is ideal if you want to centralise logs from multiple servers, services, or applications into a single, searchable interface. If your team spends time connecting to machines to diagnose production incidents, or if you lack real-time visibility into your infrastructure, Graylog directly addresses these needs.

It is an excellent choice if you require real-time alerting on log patterns—such as error spikes, failed authentication, or service outages—or if retention for compliance and audit is essential. Teams seeking a dedicated log management interface, without the need to assemble multiple tools, will find Graylog particularly effective.
