I gather about 800MB of log data each day from 12 firewall clusters positioned around the world. I'd like to get a better handle on what's happening from a 10,000 foot view. In the past, at a smaller company, I've exported the log file and imported into SQL and then had 4 specific queries run. I had very good luck with that process but the logs were considerably smaller than what I manage today. I know from past experience that there are a lot of things that could be fixed with this sort of review. Should I stick with the SQL database or has anyone had luck with SmartView Reporter. Are there other comparable products out there?
My hopes are that I'll be able to dramatically reduce the size of the log files by correcting the problems. I also realize that a policy of "log everything" is not always the best policy. I would also welcome suggestions in that area.
