[v0.3.5.2] - 2026-10-03
🚀 Fleet Hub Client Update Caching & Distribution
- Local Package Caching: The Fleet Hub automatically caches edge client binaries and packages locally on startup and upon scheduled refresh, minimizing external upstream traffic.
- Edge Pull Mechanism: Forwarder nodes retrieve validated update payloads directly from the local Fleet Hub.
🛡️ Windows Defender Firewall Automation (Fixes Issue #1)
- Automated Port Exemptions: Inno Setup (
installer_server.iss) and NSIS (installer_server.nsi) server installers automatically configure inbound Windows Defender Firewall rules for WebUI (TCP 8443) and mTLS log ingestion (TCP 9443). - Clean Uninstallation: Uninstallers automatically remove the created firewall rules cleanly upon server decommissioning.
📊 Forwarder Liveness, Silent Server Detection & System Telemetry (Fixes Issue #2)
- Silent Node & Crash Detection: Resolved the "Silent Server Down Bug" by tracking forwarder heartbeats (
last_seen). Hermes reporting (GET /api/hermes/report) automatically flags edge nodes that have gone silent for >15 minutes asCRITICALNODE_OFFLINEalerts. - Troubleshooting System Telemetry: Cross-platform system telemetry metrics (CPU utilization %, Memory load %, and Free Disk space %) are collected and attached to client heartbeats and Hermes anomaly records without external dependencies.
- Benign Service Noise Suppression: Filtered routine repetitive Windows and Linux background service lifecycle events (e.g.,
sppsvc,edgeupdate,trustedinstaller,wuauserv,backgroundTaskHost) from false-positive anomaly alert fatigue.
🔑 Dynamic Enrollment Key Rotation & WebUI Key Management
- Automatic Key Invalidation: Clicking "Download Client Config" (
GET /api/client/export-profile) automatically generates a fresh enrollment secret and invalidates previous secrets, preventing reuse of leaked keys. - WebUI Reset Shared Key: Added "🔄 Reset Shared Key" controls in the WebUI header, Fleet tab, and Export Modal, backed by
POST /api/server/reset-enrollment-secretto rotate keys and update quick-deploy command snippets on demand.
🔒 Security Hardening & Modular Architecture
- Decoupled CI & Test Execution: Clean modularization across server, client, and authority services with fully autonomous unit and integration test suites.
- API Robustness & Validation: Added cryptographic CSR validation endpoints and request sanitization.
[v0.3.5.1] - 2026-09-30
🗄️ Multi-Engine Storage Architecture
- Dynamic Backend Switching: LOGAR Server Hub supports runtime switching between lightweight Local SQLite (WAL Mode) and Enterprise SQL servers (PostgreSQL and MySQL / MariaDB) via SQLAlchemy.
- Automated Schema Provisioning: Database switching automatically verifies connectivity, provisions normalized tables (
telemetry_events,client_seats,license_config,admin_users), and generates optimized query indices. - Config Isolation: Runtime backend parameters are stored persistently in
server_config.jsonunderdb_engineand safely isolated from ephemeral test runs.
⚡ Ingestion Ring Buffer & Burst Protection
- In-Memory Queue Buffering: Built-in ring buffer with an asynchronous background flusher decoupled from mTLS socket I/O.
- Cache Mode: High-velocity log spikes are absorbed in memory without blocking incoming mTLS 1.3 frame streams.
- Configurable Batching: Configurable flush interval (
buffer_flush_interval_sec, default 2.0s) and batch size (buffer_batch_size, default 100). - Graceful Shutdown: Unflushed queue items are flushed and committed cleanly during server shutdown.
- Opt-In Security Policy: Buffering remains an explicit administrative choice and is not auto-enabled upon license activation.
🔐 Zero-Knowledge OpenPGP Data Encryption at Rest
- Public-Key Envelope Encryption: External SQL payloads (
event_data) can be encrypted at rest using the server's X.509 RSA-2048 / OpenPGP public key with AES-256-GCM symmetric session keys. - Zero-Knowledge on Database Host: External DBAs or compromised database hosts cannot read plaintext telemetry without the server's private key.
- Opt-In Security Policy: Payload encryption is strictly opt-in and configurable per compliance requirements.
📜 Dynamic Licensing Introspection & Clean Dashboard WebUI
- Modular Capability Introspection: PKI X.509 extension OID
1.3.6.1.4.1.58888.1.3and persistent license records are dynamically parsed to display active modules (enterprise_db, etc.) in a dedicated card on the 📜 Sub-CA & Licensing tab. - Distraction-Free Tab Navigation: Cleaned all dashboard tab headers to remove redundant item counts and visual badges for a streamlined administrative interface.
- Graceful Feature Locking: Unlicensed enterprise controls remain visible but gracefully disabled in the WebUI and rejected by backend API validation.
🛠️ Dynamic Installer Context Versioning & Streamlined CI/CD
- Context-Aware Installer Builds: NSIS and Inno Setup compiler scripts dynamically derive version information directly from build context/tags (
v0.3.5.1) without hardcoded version strings. - Pre-Integrated Builder Runner: Streamlined CI/CD workflows to rely directly on pre-installed container tools and libraries without runtime
apt/pipoverhead.
📖 WebUI Administrator Guide & 51 Automated Tests
- WebUI Administrator Guide: Published comprehensive WebUI management guide on the Gitea Wiki covering console access, telemetry filtering, seat management, licensing, database switching, queue tuning, zero-knowledge crypto, Hermes AI, and 2FA.
- Expanded Test Suite: 51 automated unit and integration tests passing with 100% test coverage.
