# LOGAR: Fleet Log Aggregation & Centralized Provisioning System
### *Secure Log Aggregation, PKI Fleet Licensing & Centralized Delivery for Autonomous AI Analysis*

**LOGAR** is an enterprise-grade log aggregation, normalization, and centralized provisioning system built for heterogeneous server fleets (Windows & Linux). It pairs ultra-lightweight, zero-state edge forwarders with a secure centralized server hub that enforces mutual TLS 1.3 (**mTLS**) authentication, dynamic PKI fleet licensing with cryptographic seat leasing, 12-hour temporal persistence tracking, and direct anomaly pass-through—delivering clean, structured, verified log telemetry directly to **Hermes AI** for autonomous deep reasoning, contextual root-cause analysis, and operational decision-making.

## Core Purpose & Philosophy

### 1. Centralized Log Aggregation & Provisioning
The foundational objective of LOGAR is reliable, secure collection and structured delivery of system events:
- **Heterogeneous Fleet Aggregation**: Ingests Windows Event Logs (System, Application, Security) and Linux `systemd journalctl` events into a unified, normalized JSON data format.
- **Centralized Provisioning**: Serves as the authoritative clearinghouse and real-time streaming endpoint (`/api/hermes/report`), providing structured logs with temporal metadata to external consumers and automated AI agents.
- **Zero Local Edge Footprint**: Forwarders maintain zero local databases, zero cache files, and zero disk overhead. If a network disruption occurs, agents automatically re-establish mTLS streaming without state corruption.

### 2. Direct Hermes Intelligence (No Heuristic Bottlenecks)
LOGAR strictly separates **data aggregation/provisioning** from **semantic reasoning**:
- **Removal of Arbitrary Heuristics**: The legacy 4-run throttling rule was eliminated. All ingested candidate logs (`INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL`) within the active 12-hour temporal evaluation window are immediately verified and provisioned.
- **Hermes Autonomous Thinking**: **Hermes AI** performs all multi-factor reasoning, cross-server correlation, urgency prioritization, and automated remediation decisions directly on the provisioned log stream.

### 3. Hierarchical Dynamic PKI & Fleet Licensing
- **Authoritative Master PKI**: Subordinate server hubs do not require manual certificate generation or static keys. The **Master License Authority** (`logar.eibl.tech`) issues cryptographically signed Sub-CA certificates with custom X.509 seat quotas (`1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.1`).
- **Dynamic Seat Leasing**: Server hubs enforce local seat allocations in real-time, instantly revoking or admitting edge nodes while synchronizing with the central authority over bidirectional WebSockets.

## Master License Authority & PKI Fleet Licensing

### 1. TLS 1.3 Mutual Authentication (mTLS)
- **Port 9443**: Ingestion occurs exclusively over TLS 1.3 sockets with `ssl.CERT_REQUIRED`.
- Both the hub and edge clients verify each other's certificates:
  - Client verifies server certificate against `ca.crt`.
  - Server verifies client certificate against the Subordinate/Root CA.
- **Client CN Identification & Revocation**: In the TLS handshake, the server extracts the `commonName` attribute (`client_id`), validates that the client is marked `active` in the `clients` table, updates the `last_seen` timestamp, and drops unregistered or revoked certificates immediately.

### 2. Master License Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`), Multi-Tenancy & Subordinate CA
- **Master Root Authority**: Standalone PKI repository & submodule ([`LOGAR-LICENSING/`](file:///u:/max/Desktop/LOGAR/LOGAR-LICENSING/README.md), upstream at [`https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR-LICENSING.git`](https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR-LICENSING.git)) deployed at `logar.eibl.tech`.
- **Multi-Tenant Fleet Isolation & User Management**:
  - Supports multiple isolated **Tenants** (e.g. `DEFAULT`, `CORP_A`, `PRODUCTION_FLEET`) with live tenant filtering.
  - Built-in user management with PBKDF2 password hashing, RBAC (Administrators & Operators), and self-service password updates.
- **Custom Enterprise X.509 OIDs**:
  - `OID_LOGAR_SEATS (1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.1)`: Embeds the exact licensed seat quota directly inside the signed Subordinate CA certificate.
  - `OID_LOGAR_LICENSE_ID (1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.2)`: Uniquely tracks enterprise license entitlement.
  - `OID_LOGAR_ISSUER_URL (1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.3)`: Embedded endpoint coordinate (`https://logar.eibl.tech`).
- **Bootstrap `.lic` Packages & Instant WebSocket Auto-Enrollment**:
  - The License Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) generates initial **Bootstrap `.lic` Packages** containing Master Root CA, dedicated communication credentials (`communication_cert` + `communication_key`), CSR templates, assigned tenant, and WebSocket coordinates bound directly to the authority server host.
  - **1-Click Import & Live Signing**: Importing the `.lic` file on the client server (`python src/Server.py --import-lic <file.lic>` or via WebUI) connects directly via **WebSocket**, submits the server Sub-CA CSR, and immediately installs the officially signed Sub-CA license certificate.
- **Self-Updating Client Servers & Live WebSocket Sync**:
  - Client servers update themselves against the master authority (`wss://logar.eibl.tech/ws/license`) over WebSocket (`python src/Server.py --sync-license` or via WebUI / automated watchdog).
  - Seat quotas can be increased with each renewal or updated on-demand in the License Authority WebUI.
  - The client server automatically receives the updated seat quota in its signed certificate, updates its SQLite database and runtime configuration, and reloads its in-flight `ssl.SSLContext` without dropping client connections or restarting services.
- **Automated Container Pipeline & Ephemeral NPM Pass-Through**:
  - The license authority repository includes a dedicated CI/CD workflow ([`.gitea/workflows/build-container.yml`](file:///u:/max/Desktop/LOGAR/LOGAR-LICENSING/.gitea/workflows/build-container.yml)) publishing to `gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/logar-licensing:latest` (authenticated via `giteatoken` secret).
  - Works seamlessly with ephemeral Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) by enabling the standard **Websockets Support** toggle for `logar.eibl.tech`.
  - Admin WebUI is protected by authenticated login with user and tenant administration.

### 3. Integrated Fleet Licensing & WebUI Dashboard
- **WebUI URL**: Accessible at `http://<server_host>:8443/webui` (or `/`).
- **Visual Seat Quota Meter**: Real-time progress bar displaying active forwarders vs. allocated seat limit.
- **Licensing Actions**:
  - 1-click **Export .lic Request** file download.
  - Interactive **View & Copy CA CSR** modal.
  - Drag-and-drop or paste **Import License (.lic / ca.crt)** modal.
  - **Sync & Renew via mTLS** button for immediate upstream synchronization and seat expansion.
- **Seat Management & Revocation Table**:
  - Lists all connected Windows and Linux edge forwarders.
  - **Revoke Seat**: Instantly drops and blocks the client at the TLS socket handshake layer.
  - **Reactivate Seat**: Restores the client to active status if within seat quota limits.

### 4. Cloud-Side In-Flight Certificate Watchdog
- **Continuous Hub PKI Watchdog**:
  - The server hub runs a continuous background watchdog coroutine (`cert_validity_watchdog`, running every 12 hours).
  - Automatically renews Subordinate CA certificates over mTLS with `logar.eibl.tech` and Server TLS certificates in-flight, dynamically reloading the active `ssl.SSLContext`.
- **Client Proactive Check & Reactive Self-Healing**:
  - **Proactive Renewal**: Edge clients inspect `client.crt` before every run cycle. If expiring within 30 days, they contact `/api/client/enroll` to renew.
  - **Reactive Self-Healing**: If the server CA rotates or a handshake error occurs, edge clients catch the exception, re-bootstrap enrollment against the hub, and re-establish streaming cleanly.

---

## Cloud-Side Temporal Persistence & Direct Hermes Reasoning

Incoming candidate logs are tracked in SQLite table `active_issues`:
- **Issue Fingerprint**: Formatted as `{site_name}:{server}:{signature}`.
- **12-Hour Evaluation Window**:
  - The hub compares `(now - last_seen)`.
  - If more than 12 hours have elapsed since the issue was last recorded, the previous window expires and the cycle resets to `run_count = 1`.
- **Direct Verification & Temporal Telemetry**:
  - Ingested anomalies are immediately promoted to `VERIFIED` and made available to Hermes with complete temporal metadata (first seen, last seen, consecutive run counts).
  - Hermes performs all contextual analysis, pattern recognition, and alerting logic.

---

## Agentic Hermes & Client Management API

The server hub exposes a management and reporting REST API (default port `8443`):

### `POST /api/client/enroll`
Client enrollment endpoint:
- **Request**:
  ```json
  {
    "client_id": "web-worker-01.corp.internal",
    "hostname": "web-worker-01",
    "os": "linux",
    "enrollment_secret": "<SECRET>"
  }
  ```
- **Response**:
  ```json
  {
    "ca_cert": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...",
    "client_cert": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...",
    "client_key": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n..."
  }
  ```

### `GET /api/clients`
Returns seat quota status and registered client telemetry:
```json
{
  "active_seats": 2,
  "max_seats": 10,
  "clients": [
    {
      "client_id": "web-worker-01.corp.internal",
      "hostname": "web-worker-01",
      "os_type": "linux",
      "cert_fingerprint": "7D5B660B...",
      "status": "active",
      "first_seen": "2026-09-04 18:00:00",
      "last_seen": "2026-09-04 19:15:00"
    }
  ]
}
```

### `GET /api/hermes/report`
Returns all **verified anomalies** within the active 12-hour evaluation window with full temporal metadata for direct Hermes reasoning:
```json
[
  {
    "fingerprint": "corp.internal:web-worker-01.corp.internal:PostgresPoolExhausted",
    "site": "corp.internal",
    "server": "web-worker-01.corp.internal",
    "signature": "PostgresPoolExhausted",
    "severity": "WARNING",
    "message": "Connection pool saturated (>95%)",
    "os_type": "linux",
    "first_seen": "2026-09-04T07:00:00+00:00",
    "last_seen": "2026-09-04T19:00:00+00:00",
    "consecutive_runs": 4,
    "evaluation_window": "12h",
    "verified": true,
    "status": "VERIFIED"
  }
]
```

### `GET /api/hermes/all`
Diagnostic endpoint listing all tracked anomalies in SQLite.

### `GET /health`
Returns hub health, encryption fingerprint, listener ports, and mTLS status.

---

## Dynamic Machine & Domain Identification

Client configurations intentionally contain **no hardcoded machine name or site name**. Both forwarders dynamically identify their host and domain at runtime via `get_machine_identifier()`:
1. **Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)**: Checked via `socket.getfqdn()`.
2. **OS-Specific Domain Discovery**:
   - **Windows**: Checks Active Directory environment variables (`USERDNSDOMAIN`, `USERDOMAIN`).
   - **Linux**: Parses `/etc/resolv.conf` `domain` and `search` directives.
3. **Reverse DNS Lookup**: Resolves canonical hostname via `socket.gethostbyaddr`.
4. **Fallback**: Local hostname `socket.gethostname()`.

The server automatically infers site attribution from domain qualifiers (e.g. `node01.corp.internal` $\rightarrow$ site `corp.internal`).

---

## Automated Service Installers (Linux & Windows)

LOGAR provides production-grade installation scripts and installer builders for automated service deployment:

### 1. Linux Service Installers
- **Client Installer (`compilation/install_linux_client.sh`)**:
  - Non-interactive script deploying to `/opt/logar-client`.
  - Automatically queries `/etc/machine-id` and enrolls with the hub via `curl`.
  - Installs and enables `logar-client.service` systemd unit.
  ```bash
  sudo ./compilation/install_linux_client.sh "http://hub.example.com:8443" "<ENROLLMENT_SECRET>"
  ```
- **Server Installer (`compilation/install_linux_server.sh`)**:
  - Deploys server to `/opt/logar-server`.
  - Configures logging and installs `logar-server.service` with `LimitNOFILE=65536`.
  ```bash
  sudo ./compilation/install_linux_server.sh
  ```

### 2. Windows Inno Setup Installers
- Built using **Inno Setup 6** and bundled with **NSSM** (`compilation/nssm.exe`):
  - **Client Setup (`compilation/installer_client.iss`)**: Compiles `LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe`. Installs `Win_Client.exe` into `{autopf}\LOGAR`, sets up `LOGAR_Client` service via NSSM with stdout/stderr redirection to `{commonappdata}\LOGAR\client.log`, and starts the service. Clean uninstallation stops and removes the service.
  - **Server Setup (`compilation/installer_server.iss`)**: Compiles `LOGAR-Server-Setup.exe`. Installs `Server.exe` and sets up `LOGAR_Server` Windows service via NSSM.

## Getting Started & Deployment

### 1. Central Server Hub

1. **Install dependencies**:
   ```bash
   pip install -r compilation/requirements.txt
   ```
2. **Start the server** (generates `server_config.json`, Root CA, and server certs on first run):
   ```bash
   python src/Server.py
   ```
3. **Export a client configuration**:
   ```bash
   python src/Server.py --create-client-config --server-host <SERVER_IP> --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json
   ```

### 2. Windows Client Deployment
1. Download `LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe` from releases and run it, or place `Win_Client.exe` and `client_config.json` in `C:\Program Files\LOGAR`.
2. On first run with `client_config.json`, `Win_Client.exe` automatically enrolls with the hub, receives its mTLS certificates, and establishes secure streaming.

### 3. Linux Client Deployment
1. Run the automated installer:
   ```bash
   sudo ./compilation/install_linux_client.sh "http://<HUB_HOST>:8443" "<ENROLLMENT_SECRET>"
   ```
2. The installer enrolls the client, configures `/etc/logar/certs`, and activates `logar-client.service`.

## Running Tests

### 1. Component Unit Tests
```bash
python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
```
Runs all **25 unit tests**, covering:
- Dynamic Root CA generation and server TLS certificate issuance.
- Dynamic client certificate issuance with CN and authority key extensions.
- Enrollment secret authentication, seat limits, and certificate revocation.
- Proactive certificate validity checks, Root CA auto-renewal, and in-flight server SSLContext reload.
- Windows & Linux event log collection, deduplication, and mTLS certificate verification.
- 12-hour evaluation window and direct Hermes anomaly verification.

### 2. End-to-End Pipeline Integration Test
```bash
# 1. Initialize test configuration
python src/Server.py --create-client-config --server-host 127.0.0.1 --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json

# 2. Launch server in background
python src/Server.py &

# 3. Run integration test
python tests/test_pipeline.py
```
Tests client enrollment, secret rejection, mTLS TLS 1.3 socket handshake, direct warning promotion, immediate error promotion, and Hermes report output.

## Releases & Binary Distribution

Releases can be built and published through three complementary channels:

### 1. Tag Push Automation (Gitea Actions)
Pushing a release tag automatically triggers the build workflows:
```bash
git tag v3.0.0
git push origin v3.0.0
```
The consolidated workflow **`release.yml`** defines two parallel jobs:
- **`release-linux`** (`ubuntu-latest`): Compiles standalone native ELF binaries (`Linux_Client.bin`, `Server.bin`) and checksums.
- **`release-windows`** (`windows-latest`): Compiles Windows executables (`Win_Client.exe`, `Server.exe`), builds Inno Setup installers, and publishes checksums (requires self-hosted Windows Act Runner).

### 2. Manual Workflow Dispatch (Gitea UI)
Workflows can be manually triggered on demand from the Gitea web interface:
1. Navigate to **Actions** $\rightarrow$ **Release Binaries & Installers** (`release.yml`).
2. Click **Run workflow**, set the release tag (defaults to `v3.0.0`), and run.

### 3. Native Local Windows Build & Direct Release Upload
For environments without a registered Windows CI runner, Windows executables can be built and published directly to Gitea releases:
```powershell
# 1. Build Windows binaries locally
python compilation/package_dist.py --target windows

# 2. Upload assets and release notes directly to the Gitea release
python compilation/upload_release.py --tag v3.0.0 --token <GITEA_TOKEN> --skip-build
```
