This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. View the full guide here: How to get started with Grafana.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero gives you a ready-to-use Grafana cloud environment built for quick setup and reliable performance:

• Unlimited users, dashboards, and alerts: scale your monitoring as needed, without artificial limits.
• Dedicated SMTP email server included, so you can send all the notifications you want, with no quotas to track.
• One-click plugin installation streamlines adding new features to Grafana.
• Built-in SSO support for GitLab, GitHub, Google, and any generic OAuth2 provider. User management stays simple and secure.
• One-click updates keep your Grafana instance current, with no downtime or maintenance hassle.
• Use your own custom domain with automated HTTPS provisioning for secure, branded access (for example, https://grafana.your-company.com).
• High performance and strong security are standard, running on your own private, dedicated infrastructure.

Get started faster and save setup time: a secure Grafana cloud hosting instance is ready in about 5 minutes.

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

Select the data source labeled "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).
