Synadia Insights

Trial

Insights is commercial software. Release binaries are only distributed through a trial sign-up or an existing license agreement with Synadia.

Starting a Trial

Request a trial at https://www.synadia.com/insights/trial. Once approved, you'll receive access to the release binaries and a trial license JWT.

Trials are time-limited. The license JWT records an expiry timestamp and a grace period; both are checked at startup.

What the Trial Includes

  • Access to official release binaries for Linux (amd64, arm64), macOS (amd64, arm64), and Windows (amd64).
  • A trial license JWT valid for the evaluation period.
  • Every product feature. Trial and paid licenses unlock the same functionality.

Evaluating Without a License

You can also evaluate Insights without a license by running against the built-in simulator:

./insights --simulator.enabled

The simulator generates a synthetic NATS deployment and skips license validation entirely. This is useful for exploring the web UI, search language, and audit checks before (or instead of) requesting a trial. See the Quick Start for a walkthrough.

Production use against a real NATS system always requires a license. See Installation › Configure a License.

Next Steps

  • Installation. Install Insights from the trial release artifacts and configure your license.
  • Quick Start. Run Insights with the built-in simulator.
