I detailed using both syslogd, syslog-ng along with Swatch and Logwatch in my 
new POD book called "Network Security using Linux" which the free preview can 
be downloaded at www.lulu.com/packetpress Sawmill is another strong analysis 
tool which I have personally used with web logs and PIX log files.

Hello,
We are using PIX firewall and I gonna configure an external syslog 
server.

What do you use to do some automatic log checking ? For example, today 
a external user  downloaded several GB. We saw it on our stats. I 
cannot look my stats website erveryday for every we server.

So do you know good syslog parser/manager ?

Thanks !


I use fwlogwatch to monitor our iptables logs, I have it mail me reports 
every morning.  A good deal of configurability, it works reasonably 
well.  I believe it supports PIX log formats as well.
