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.
