FAQPage Schema
How do I test log ingestion with a LimaCharlie adapter on my local machine?

Deploy a temporary LimaCharlie adapter on your Linux or macOS host to validate log ingestion in a controlled environment. The skill handles platform detection, adapter download, and real-time log streaming to LimaCharlie, then cleans up automatically when complete.

Can I validate detection and response rules against real logs before production?

Yes. The adapter streams local logs to LimaCharlie so you can test and validate D&R rules on actual log data from your machine, catching issues in development before deployment.

What do I need to set up before deploying a test adapter?

Obtain a test installation key from your LimaCharlie organization. The skill handles the rest: downloading the adapter, configuring it for non-root operation, and managing the temporary deployment on Linux or macOS.

How does the adapter handle log collection and parsing during testing?

The adapter streams logs in real time and integrates with the parsing-helper to collect and parse samples, letting you explore adapter behavior and debug ingestion workflows without manual configuration.

Does this skill work on Windows hosts?

No. The adapter deploys only on Linux or macOS hosts. Windows is not supported by this temporary deployment skill.

Why would I test an adapter locally instead of deploying directly to production?

Local testing isolates validation to your machine, letting you debug adapter behavior, verify D&R rules work on real logs, and explore ingestion workflows safely before committing to production infrastructure.
