| You ask | Example answer |
|---|---|
| [scan environment for install candidates](discover-env.md) | Detected: fluent-bit DaemonSet (3 replicas) · EKS 1.28 · S3 bucket `logs-archive`. |
| [recommend install path](advise-install.md) | Top pick: Reporter, no forwarder changes required. Alternatives: Receiver inline, Retriever. |
| [Retriever plan](advise-retriever.md) | Helm + Terraform plan for the S3-backed overflow bucket. |
| [configure engine, derive a per-pattern cap PR](configure-engine.md) | Unified action plan: compact / offload / tier_down / sample / drop / pass, one tool, one PR. |
| [point the engine at a GitOps repo](set-gitops-repo.md) | Wires `LOG10X_GITOPS_REPO` + `LOG10X_GITOPS_TOKEN` into the env profile so configure_engine can render `gh pr create` commands. |
| [arm the recurring background watcher](setup-recurring.md) | Schedules the `tenx-recur` daemon to re-run cost + drift checks on a cron and post a one-line digest. |
| [wire a log analyzer to read an offload bucket](siem-connector.md) | Datadog Forwarder / Splunk SQS-based S3 connector: SNS fan-out + IAM + the vendor-native input, matched to the NDJSON offload layout. |
