Output

Status includes:
  • Agent Beacon CLI version
  • Config path and runtime log path
  • Runtime-log source warnings if a system collector may be writing OTLP events to a different log
  • Collector health and configured OTLP ports
  • launchd service status
  • Discovered agent harnesses, including Beacon-managed or customer-managed telemetry state for Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Factory Droid when present
  • Endpoint diagnostics
  • Destination configuration in JSON output, including Splunk HEC or Falcon LogScale HEC endpoint, index, source, and sourcetype when configured
  • Last Beacon event in the runtime log, when present
When Splunk HEC is configured, --json includes a destinations.splunk_hec object with configured: true and the non-secret destination settings. When Falcon LogScale HEC is configured, --json includes destinations.falcon_hec with the same non-secret fields. HEC tokens are not printed. File-based destinations such as Wazuh, Elastic, Datadog, Sumo Logic, Rapid7, Microsoft Sentinel, and AWS S3 validate against the configured runtime log path and their generated shipper configuration.
