Owl Log Forwarding Service (OLFS) is a software application that allows privileged administrators to collect and monitor log information from Owl perimeter defense platforms. The logs provide information on one-way data transfer activity, system performance and health, and a wide range of alerts, such as error conditions and admin keyword notifications. Using OLFS, operators can oversee the health and effective throughput of a single one-way system, multiple application instances on a single system, or multiple discrete systems.
