👋 Welcome to Stackhero documentation
Stackhero provides 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 needed.
- Use a custom domain name secured by HTTPS (for example, https://logs.your-company.com), giving your team secure, direct access.
- Experience strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure with no shared resources or noisy neighbors.
Focus on your data, not your tooling: you can get started with Stackhero's Graylog cloud hosting solution in just a few minutes.
Graylog provides several advantages over building your own log management stack:
- All-in-one solution: OpenSearch and MongoDB are bundled and pre-configured. You do not need to install, integrate, or maintain separate services.
- Fast, intuitive search: Full-text search across billions of events in milliseconds, using the Graylog Query Language (GQL) that is easy to learn.
- Real-time streams and pipelines: Route and transform log data as it arrives. You can filter noise, enrich data, and direct specific events to specific streams without custom coding.
- Integrated alerting: Alert conditions and notifications via email, Slack, PagerDuty, and other channels are built in: no separate alerting system required.
- Native dashboards: Build interactive dashboards directly in the Graylog web UI, without needing extra visualization tools like Grafana or Kibana.
- Multi-protocol log ingestion: Accept logs via Syslog, GELF, Beats, raw TCP/UDP, HTTP, and more. Graylog works with nearly any log shipper your environment already uses.
