Graylog cloud refers to a managed deployment of Graylog provided by a cloud provider, rather than an on-premises installation. Self-hosting Graylog requires running three services together — Graylog itself, OpenSearch, and MongoDB — and keeping all three updated, backed up, and secured is a non-trivial operational burden.
With Stackhero, you can have a dedicated Graylog instance up and running in just 2 minutes. OpenSearch and MongoDB are included and pre-configured. Your instance runs on a dedicated VM — not shared infrastructure — so your log data stays isolated. Connections are encrypted with TLS 1.3, backups run automatically every 24 hours and are retained for up to 3 months, and updates are available in one click. Servers are available in the United States and Europe, with hourly billing so you pay only for what you use.
