log analyzer question

[Michael Booxbaum Sardinas <michael.sardinas () worldlearning org>]

Hello all:

In one of my many job capacities I need to be working on securing two 
web servers (IIS 6 and iPlanet 6), as well as keeping track of a few 
win2k servers.  In my quest, I have a need to easily monitor logs from 
all of these servers.  As with many IT Departments I have no money, so I 
need to find a Free (as in Speech) log analyzer for me to use.  For ease 
of use I would like to find one cross-platform log analyzer.

I have found Awstats and Snare, both which work on windows and *nix 
boxes.  Has anybody had experience with these, or is there another I 
should be looking at?

Thanks in advance,

re1mage
