Re: pix log analyser

Haikel,

You could take a look at the three listed below. All require a bit of tweaking
to obtain meaningful info, but my personal favourites are no's.2 and 3.

1. fwanalog
Uses the popular tool 'analog' to graph the PIX logs. To facilitate this, it
first converts the PIX logs into a format that analog may understand (by
default, analog expects standard web server logs as input). As a consequence of
this, the appearance of some of the data in the generated report may not be
entirely clear at first glance.

fwanalog produces three web-based reports (a report for today, a report for the
last week, and a report covering the period from when the logs started to the
current date), and one text based report (a report for today).

2. fwlogsum
fwlogsum was written to summarise Checkpoint firewall logs, but add-on
converters allow other firewall log formats to be converted to a format that
fwlogsum understands. Because of this conversion process, the meaning/detail of
some of the data may be lost.

3. fwlogwatch
fwlogwatch summarises logs from a number of different firewall types. It has a
lot of options that allow tailoring of the report that is produced.

Hope this helps somewhat. Good luck.

Steve M.
