Forwarding Command

Use beacon endpoint sumo to generate Sumo Logic HTTP Source forwarding content for Beacon endpoint events. The generated pack keeps Beacon as a local JSONL producer and helps your customer-managed shipper upload runtime.jsonl to a Sumo Logic Hosted Collector HTTP Logs & Metrics Source. Beacon does not store Sumo Source URLs, tokens, or collector configuration. Keep those values in your shipper configuration, endpoint-management secret store, or deployment tooling.
