HI,

I've been using logsurfer for the past 4 years and it is an excellent
tool.  I must be honest though that I'm looking at logsurfer+ right now
since it adds some much appreciated features.  Nonetheless they are the
same product, just a resurrection.  I haven't found a better log parsing
tool yet.  BTW, we scan about 0.4-0.7GB daily in real time.

Hi all
One of the companies I support wants to implement a syslog strategy for all
their infrasturcture devices.. Unix boxes, windows server, cisco comms
devices. To hopefully capture all the logs, we're talking about lots of
logs, their domain servers log about 300K items a day!.. Unix boxes log
heaps too about 70K per day per server!.. They have around 80 unix server,
120 windows servers and about 150 comms devices.. Any idea what the best way
to go about this would be, also any suggestions of what log analysis
software to use?
