liblognorm is really good for extracting certain types of information
from logs (src ip, dst ip, usernames, etc), but I'm not sure it's
going to help in this case.

Here is my liblognorm page:

You might be able to pump the logs into a ELSA or something like that.
 We wrote a custom Syslog/MySQL/Sphinx engine that we'd use in cases
just like this (command line driven).  Unfortunately,  it's not open
source :(

You might be better off sticking with grep/awk/sed/cut/etc.

Also,  Websense will store in a CEF format which should make it easier
to extract what you want.

having it recomended at some time.

So I have several gigs of webnonsense logs and I am trying to 
construct a timeline of malware infection as it spreads from IP to 
IP.  I already know what the malicious URLs look like so that's
not the issue.  I want to be able to build a timeline of activity
to describe the first moment a computer was infected and I want to 
illustrate when the phone home traffic hops from domain to domain.
