Initial implementation: NATS->S3 archiver + search/retrieve CLI
logarchiver replaces the plain Vector archiver leg of the centralized
logging stack (argocd-apps #296) with a Go service that archives raw logs
from NATS JetStream to S3 as zstd-compressed, OpenPGP-encrypted, indexed
objects, plus an operator CLI to search the index and retrieve/decrypt
archived logs. It adds the things that outgrew Vector: zstd compression,
encryption keyed from Ben's Vault GPG secrets engine, a searchable
ClickHouse index, and sink-conditional acks (a batch is acknowledged to
JetStream only after the object is durably in S3 AND indexed).

Service (`logarchiver run`):
- Durable JetStream pull consumer (stream LOGS, durable archiver, subject
  filter default logs.k8s.vault.>), explicit acks, independent offsets.
- Batch per subject by size/count/time -> NDJSON -> zstd -> encrypt -> S3
  PUT -> ClickHouse index row -> ack. On any failure the batch is Nak'd and
  redelivered, so nothing is lost on a sink outage.
- Encryption is a wrapped-DEK envelope (container LARC1): the bulk is
  AES-256-GCM framed under a random data key, and only that 32-byte key is
  OpenPGP-encrypted to the engine's public key. This is because the Vault
  GPG engine does whole-payload decrypt only; retrieval round-trips just the
  tiny wrapped key regardless of object size. Public key fetched from the
  engine or a mounted file (configurable); key fingerprint recorded per
  object; periodic pubkey refresh for rotation.
- Prometheus metrics, structured slog, graceful drain on shutdown.

CLI:
- `search` queries the index (subject/host/time) and lists matching objects.
- `fetch` downloads, decrypts via the Vault GPG engine, unzstds and emits
  NDJSON (optionally re-filtered by host/time).
- `init-schema` creates/prints the ClickHouse archive_index DDL.
- cobra `completion` subcommands.

Config via file+env (k8s-friendly, secrets from env), boundaries (NATS/S3/
ClickHouse/Vault) behind interfaces with unit tests (config, batching,
host/subject extraction, crypto roundtrip with a test key, ack-after-persist
with fakes, search query building). go build/vet/test -race clean;
golangci-lint v2 clean. Woodpecker CI: build/test/pre-commit on PR; on v*
tag a container image plus a Gitea binary release + rpm-internal RPM. Docs
per subcommand + architecture + retrieval runbook + deployment drop-in.

logarchiver search

Query the ClickHouse archive index for objects matching a subject/host/time window. Prints one row per matching S3 object with event counts and sizes; use the object keys with fetch.

logarchiver search [flags]

Flags

Flag Meaning
--subject NATS-style subject glob: * matches one token, > matches the rest. e.g. logs.vm.*, logs.k8s.vault.>.
--host Source host to match: exact, or a glob containing *.
--from Start of window: RFC3339, YYYY-MM-DD, or a relative duration like -24h.
--to End of window (same formats).
--limit Max objects (default 100; 0 = no limit).
--json Emit results as JSON instead of a table.

An object matches the time window when its [min_ts, max_ts] overlaps [from, to]. Objects are ordered by min_ts.

Examples

# Vault audit logs from a node in the last day.
logarchiver search --subject 'logs.k8s.vault.>' --host node-1 --from -24h

# All VM logs for a host in July, as JSON.
logarchiver search --subject 'logs.vm.*' --host db-1 \
  --from 2026-07-01 --to 2026-08-01 --json

Config

Uses index.* (ClickHouse address/database/table/credentials). Requires index.enabled: true.
