Asymptote can be used through managed Asymptote Cloud or through the open-source Agent Beacon endpoint agent running locally.

​
Managed (Asymptote Cloud)

Use Asymptote Cloud when you want hosted visibility, governance, and enterprise rollout support for agent activity.
  1. Request access at asymptotelabs.ai/contact.
  2. Configure your workspace with the runtimes and teams you want to observe.
  3. Use the Asymptote Observe SDK for cloud-hosted agents, services, workers, and serverless functions.
  4. Deploy Agent Beacon on endpoints when you also need local harness visibility.
Managed adds centralized ingest, retention, search, detections, fleet-wide visibility, policy controls, identity mapping, approvals, investigation workflows, SSO, RBAC, audit trails, and enterprise onboarding on top of the open-source Agent Beacon foundation. For cloud-hosted agent applications, install the SDK and initialize hosted export with an Asymptote API key:
Set the hosted Observe API key
export ASYMPTOTE_API_KEY=...
Initialize hosted Observe
import { Observe } from "@asymptote/sdk";

Observe.initialize({
  apiKey: process.env.ASYMPTOTE_API_KEY,
});
See Asymptote Managed for managed platform capabilities and SDK Quickstart for cloud instrumentation details.

​
Open Source (Local)

Use the open-source local path when you want endpoint telemetry without a hosted Asymptote backend. Agent Beacon runs on the endpoint, writes normalized events to local JSONL, and can forward events into customer-managed security workflows. Install Beacon and configure local endpoint telemetry:
Install Beacon
brew tap asymptote-labs/tap
brew install beacon
beacon version
Configure local endpoint telemetry
beacon endpoint install
beacon endpoint status
Open the local dashboard to inspect runtime inventory, timelines, filters, and event details:
Open the local dashboard
beacon endpoint dashboard --open
The local path preserves runtime.jsonl on the endpoint and supports optional forwarding to Wazuh, Splunk HEC, Falcon LogScale HEC, Elastic, Datadog, Sumo Logic, Rapid7 InsightIDR, Microsoft Sentinel, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or a customer-managed pipeline. See Asymptote Open Source for setup details and Security & IT Rollout Guide for managed endpoint deployment.
