Quickstart
Choose the quickstart that matches how you want to evaluate or deploy Beacon.For Security & IT Teams
Pilot Beacon on managed macOS endpoints, validate collection health, choose retention, and connect events to your SIEM workflow.
For Individual Developers
Install Beacon locally with Homebrew, configure endpoint telemetry, and inspect your own AI agent activity.
What both paths set up
Both quickstarts configure the local Beacon endpoint agent so supported AI runtimes can write normalized endpoint events toruntime.jsonl.
| Area | Security and IT teams | Individual developers |
|---|---|---|
| Install mode | System mode through package, MDM, or root-managed install | User mode through Homebrew |
| Runtime log | /var/log/beacon-agent/runtime.jsonl | ~/.beacon/endpoint/logs/runtime.jsonl |
| Validation | Inventory, service health, Wazuh validation events, and SIEM forwarding checks | CLI status, local dashboard, and optional hook status |
| Next steps | MDM rollout, retention policy, Wazuh or Splunk HEC forwarding | Runtime hooks, local dashboard, and command exploration |
