The Canary app is how Sideview views and apps
will run in Splunk Enterprise 8 and beyond.

You can download a 90 day trial of it today and test it out on Splunk 7.X, or even on the Splunk 8 beta if you have beta access.

As far as what you need to know about Canary beyond that though, it really depends on what kind of user you are.

• I am a customer of one of Sideview’s commercial apps
   

• I maintain (or develop) custom dashboards or apps written with Sideview Utils
   

• I’m a Splunk app developer, I read the above links but I want more technical details
   

Any and all feedback is welcome

If you want to try the Canary app out yourself, go for it — you can download it from Splunkbase or from this site and run it as a 90 day free trial.

No amount of detail is too large. Use our Contact page, or come find us on the Splunk Slack – @madscient_sideview and @richfez_sideview.

If you want to ask a tiny question or a huge question both are great. If you want to send 126 Advanced XML views and ask us if they will run in Canary, you can do that.
