New Boatswain Agent and Web portal

We have collected some feedbacks from our pilot partnerships and we released a new web portal (version 0.1.9) in June 2021. And today we also released a new version of Boatswain (Agent version 0.2.13). In this new version, you can disable the log collection by altering the boatswain.yml.
