central firewall auditing software

["Ogrodnek, Larry" <Larry.Ogrodnek () dowjones com>]

Hey, I've been asked to come up with a system that will centralize logging
information from a bunch of firewalls and store it in a single database
somewhere so that later people can search/access it from another app or the
web or whatever.  The firewall machines are running different operating
systems and the firewalls themselves are from different vendors.

Is there currently a product out there that can just take arbitrary logging
information (in case a year from now we want to do the same thing with the
web servers) and centralize it to a database or machine securely?

I haven't found anything out there that meets all of our needs.  There have
been a few products that only work with a certain firewall, and many more
products that only work with Windows NT events, etc... 

If anyone has seen/heard of any such system or has come across a similar
need, I would appreciate any pointers you could give.

thanks,
larry
