Does Canvas Data Services (Webhooks / Live Events) Work with Self-Hosted Canvas lms Production Start (Open-Source)?

[Suraj201800]

I'm running a self-hosted Canvas LMS instance production version and I'd like to set up Canvas Data Services to subscribe to webhooks (live events) via HTTPS or AWS SQS.

In the official Canvas documentation, the instructions typically reference hosted environments. My question is:

• Is the "Canvas Data Services" and Live Events (Webhooks) feature fully supported and functional on self-hosted Canvas instances?

• If yes, are there specific steps or dependencies required to enable and configure it properly on open-source/self-hosted setups?

I'm currently not seeing the "Data Services" tab appear in my admin settings, despite enabling the feature flag (live_events) and confirming the account permissions.

Any insights or guidance would be much appreciated!

Hi @Suraj201800,

I'm not 100% sure about this one, but I thought I'd point you to the Open Source FAQ · instructure/canvas-lms in case you haven't seen it.  In that FAQ, it does mention that Canvas Data is not included in the open source version, but I'm not quite sure if the Canvas Data Services are included in that or are considered something slightly different by Instructure.
