I've been testing the Reporting Suite for a couple of weeks now. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'll most likely buy it shortly. The funny part is that I'm not actually using the Reporting Suite part, only the SysLog/DBManager part :) I've been creating my own SQL Queries and web pages to support the reports I want to view. It seems to work out quite nicely that way. Make sure you have a decent amount of hard drive space. 2 days of solid logging has given me 45MB of files in a MySQL database for one firewall on a T1. Scale that up and you'll need just over 8GB to store a year's worth of data. All in all though, I don't think that's too bad. But I'm guessing that could add up quickly the more external IPs you have and the more firewalls you monitor.

The obvious answer would be GTA Reporting Suite ;) http://www.gta.com/products/reporting/ But the latest versions of the system software support logging in WELF-compliant format, so any log analyzer should be able to provide you with the necessary info: http://www.google.com/search?q=welf+log+analyzer Maarten ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/
