Most of the log analysis/correlation threads in my E-mail archive seem to get a 
lot of "yeah we use Splunk for that."  Allow me to ask the question this way 
and see what happens...

I pressed my coworkers for some specific examples of what they'd like to have a 
log correlator do for them.  Below is the non-trivial example that I received.  
Do any log correlation products have this sort of sophistication?


The following sequence of events happen. Program sees the log entry for each 
event, makes the correlation, and sends us an email that [insert user here] is 
running bittorrent.
               Link comes up on switch port
                802.1x authentication succeeds
                DHCP address issued
                User logs into domain
                Firewall starts logging the BitTorrent URL signature
