Get a Graylog Enterprise license

You can obtain an Enterprise license directly from Graylog here: https://graylog.org/products/enterprise/.

Note that we are not affiliated with Graylog and we do not provide support for their Enterprise license.

Get the Graylog cluster ID

When obtaining an Enterprise license, Graylog's website will require your cluster ID. To locate the cluster ID, connect to your Graylog admin panel, navigate to "Enterprise," then "License," and find the cluster ID in the "Installed licenses" section.

Keep in mind that you must first activate the "Graylog Enterprise" plugin in the Stackhero dashboard (see instructions below).

To activate the Enterprise plugin, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Stackhero dashboard and select your Graylog service.
  2. Click on the "Configure" button.
  3. In the plugins list, activate the "Graylog Enterprise" plugin and confirm the configuration.

Once activated, you will see the "Enterprise" link in your Graylog admin panel.

Add a Graylog Enterprise license

To add an Enterprise license:

  1. Open your Graylog admin panel and click on "Enterprise".
  2. 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. Refer to the instructions above to activate it.
