LOGAR: Fleet Log Aggregation & Centralized Provisioning System
Sichere Log-Zusammenführung, PKI-Flottenlizenzierung & Bereitstellung für autonome KI-Analyse
LOGAR is an enterprise-grade log aggregation, normalization, and centralized provisioning system ("Log-Zusammenführung und Bereitstellung") 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 (Log-Zusammenführung & Bereitstellung)
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 journalctlevents 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 verifies server certificate against
- Client CN Identification & Revocation: In the TLS handshake, the server extracts the
commonNameattribute (client_id), validates that the client is markedactivein theclientstable, updates thelast_seentimestamp, 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 athttps://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR-LICENSING.git) deployed atlogar.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.
- Supports multiple isolated Tenants (e.g.
- 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
.licPackages & Instant WebSocket Auto-Enrollment:- The License Authority (
logar.eibl.tech) generates initial Bootstrap.licPackages 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
.licfile 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.
- The License Authority (
- 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-licenseor 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.SSLContextwithout dropping client connections or restarting services.
- Client servers update themselves against the master authority (
- Automated Container Pipeline & Ephemeral NPM Pass-Through:
- The license authority repository includes a dedicated CI/CD workflow (
.gitea/workflows/build-container.yml) publishing togitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/logar-licensing:latest(authenticated viagiteatokensecret). - 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.
- The license authority repository includes a dedicated CI/CD workflow (
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.techand Server TLS certificates in-flight, dynamically reloading the activessl.SSLContext.
- The server hub runs a continuous background watchdog coroutine (
- Client Proactive Check & Reactive Self-Healing:
- Proactive Renewal: Edge clients inspect
client.crtbefore every run cycle. If expiring within 30 days, they contact/api/client/enrollto 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.
- Proactive Renewal: Edge clients inspect
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.
- The hub compares
- Direct Verification & Temporal Telemetry:
- Ingested anomalies are immediately promoted to
VERIFIEDand 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.
- Ingested anomalies are immediately promoted to
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():
- Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN): Checked via
socket.getfqdn(). - OS-Specific Domain Discovery:
- Windows: Checks Active Directory environment variables (
USERDNSDOMAIN,USERDOMAIN). - Linux: Parses
/etc/resolv.confdomainandsearchdirectives.
- Windows: Checks Active Directory environment variables (
- Reverse DNS Lookup: Resolves canonical hostname via
socket.gethostbyaddr. - 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)

Getting Started & Deployment
1. Central Server Hub
- Install dependencies:
pip install -r compilation/requirements.txt - Start the server (generates
server_config.json, Root CA, and server certs on first run):python src/Server.py - 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
- Download
LOGAR-Client-Setup.exefrom releases and run it, or placeWin_Client.exeandclient_config.jsoninC:\Program Files\LOGAR. - On first run with
client_config.json,Win_Client.exeautomatically enrolls with the hub, receives its mTLS certificates, and establishes secure streaming.
3. Linux Client Deployment
- Run the automated installer:
sudo ./compilation/install_linux_client.sh "http://<HUB_HOST>:8443" "<ENROLLMENT_SECRET>" - The installer enrolls the client, configures
/etc/logar/certs, and activateslogar-client.service.

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 v2.0.1
git push origin v2.0.1
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:
- Navigate to Actions
\rightarrowRelease Binaries & Installers (release.yml). - Click Run workflow, set the release tag (defaults to
v2.0.1), 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 v2.0.1 --token <GITEA_TOKEN> --skip-build
