If you're looking for particular strings to be alerted on, SWATCH is
nice. If you're looking to have the logs indexed and searchable, check
out Splunk. Splunk Pro will also do the alerting piece.

Our firewall puts out these massive text files which I have to peruse on
a daily basis. I was hoping if someone might know of a good, free tool
which can help filter a large log file like this. Your input is
appreciated.

Thanks,

Amy
