Re: log monitoring/analysis/correlation systems

I am a huge fan of CS-MARS when you know how to use it you can make  
it do wonderful things.  Also the reporting/query engine is one of  
the best I have been exposed too.  I have used it at my last two  
companies and couldn't imaging running a network without.  Especially  
once it is coupled with SNARE you are able to pull in all of the log  
files from your Windows Machine.  With the custom log parsing ability  
I believe the options are endless.  Also if you use one the AV  
Vendors they support you can now report on all of your  
infrastructure.  Auditors like the reports that come out of Mars and  
the ability to archive them form email or off to a file server is a  
great advantage of the product.
