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.

Thanks,
Brian
