Canarytokens helps track activity and actions on your network.
We recommend the Docker image installation process.
The Canarytokens server can use many different settings configurations. You can find them in settings.py. There are two
main settings files: frontend.env and switchboard.env.
The frontend.env contains the frontend process settings such as:
- CANARY_DOMAINS=mytesttokensdomain.com
- CANARY_NXDOMAINS=pdf.demo.canarytokens.net
- CANARY_AWSID_URL=
- CANARY_WEB_IMAGE_UPLOAD_PATH=/uploads
- CANARY_GOOGLE_API_KEY=
- LOG_FILE=frontend.log
The switchboard.env contains the switchboard process settings such as:
- CANARY_MAILGUN_DOMAIN_NAME=
- CANARY_MAILGUN_API_KEY=
- CANARY_MANDRILL_API_KEY=
- CANARY_SENDGRID_API_KEY=
- CANARY_PUBLIC_IP=
- CANARY_PUBLIC_DOMAIN=
- CANARY_ALERT_EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=noreply@yourdomain.com
- CANARY_ALERT_EMAIL_FROM_DISPLAY="Canarytoken Mailer"
- CANARY_ALERT_EMAIL_SUBJECT="Alert"
- CANARY_SMTP_USERNAME=
- CANARY_SMTP_PASSWORD=
- CANARY_SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com
- CANARY_SMTP_PORT=587
- CANARY_WEB_IMAGE_UPLOAD_PATH=/uploads
- LOG_FILE=switchboard.log
Please note that when choosing which email provider you would like to use, you MUST only provide
information related to that provider. E.g. if you have CANARY_MAILGUN_API_KEY then you must remove the others such as
CANARY_SENDGRID_API_KEY and CANARY_MANDRILL_API_KEY.
Lastly, we have added the ability to specify your own AWSID lambda so that you may host your own. The setting is placed in
frontend.env under CANARY_AWSID_URL. If this value is not specified, it will use our default hosted lambda.
