Zero Local State: No local SQLite database or state tracking on the edge server.
Edge Noise Stripping: Strips conversational/informational noise (INFO, DEBUG) directly at the source via journalctl -p warning.
End-to-End OpenPGP Encryption: Encrypts logs using the server's public key; decrypted exclusively on the cloud hub.
Authenticated TCP Socket: Direct, low-overhead TCP streaming with token authentication.
No GPG Binary Required: Pure-Python implementation (pgpy + cryptography).

Cron / Systemd Timer Deployment

Option A: Cron Job (Every 3 hours)

0 */3 * * * cd /opt/logar && /usr/bin/python3 Linux_Client.py --hours 6 >> /var/log/logar_client.log 2>&1

Option B: Systemd Service & Timer

Create /etc/systemd/system/logar-forwarder.service:

[Unit]
Description=LOGAR Edge Forwarder
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot

[Unit]
Description=Run LOGAR Edge Forwarder every 3 hours

[Timer]
OnBootSec=5min
OnUnitActiveSec=3h
Persistent=true

[Install]
