Canary

Canary is essentially an alternate User Interface framework for Splunk. It implements its own extensible view creation slash dashboarding system that other apps can use. It is a descendant of the old Sideview Utils (defunct for years now) but whereas Sideview Utils ran on top of Splunk’s “Advanced XML” systems, Canary does not. For a great deal more information about Canary, see our website ( https://sideviewapps.com/documentation/canary )Built by Sideview, LLC - Partner, an official Splunk Partner

Splunk's "Upgrade Readiness App" may erroneously state that our apps do not run in python3 but it is wrong and please contact us if you have any questions about this.
