After a [...] Hello. To prevent huge and unmanageable logs (see also the thread about the lame log viewer), I run a daily script that : 1) rotate the log (the *fw logswitch* command) 2) create an editable version (the *fw logexport* command) 3) append the date and time to these 2 files names 4) move these both to a HD directory and to a tape for archiving 5) updates a log of this archiving It's quite helpful to me, and yields files around 1 MB, much easier to deal with. Leaving a FW log grow up to several 100's MB seems to me unappropriate : in this case, a single *select* in the log viewer would last forever !
