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.

    ProvisionReport --> HermesThinking: Hermes AI executes multi-factor reasoning & actions

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/, upstream at 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) 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:
    {
      "client_id": "web-worker-01.corp.internal",
      "hostname": "web-worker-01",
      "os": "linux",
      "enrollment_secret": "<SECRET>"
    }
    
  • Response:
    {
      "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:

{
  "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:

[
  {
    "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.
    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.
    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:
    pip install -r compilation/requirements.txt
    
  2. Start the server (generates server_config.json, Root CA, and server certs on first run):
    python src/Server.py
    
  3. Export a client configuration:
    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:
    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

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

# 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:

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:

# 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
