Re: syslog for PIX?

I like the ability to use the Linux utilities, but am not comfortable in
a Linux environment.  In windows, I have used Kiwi freeware and perl for
parsing.  If you want more than the freeware features, Kiwi can be
purchased for very little and has a tremendous amount more
features/flexibility.

I suggest a Linux server running Syslog-ng, it has worked out really
well for me.  It deals great with a very heavy load of syslog message
and allows me to place messages in different files based on the
characteristics of the message.  Also by using a Linux server I can
make use of utilities like grep to parse the logs and look for any
specific data that I might need.

Any one have recommendations for free or very cheap software for
recording/parsing/reporting syslog outputs from a PIX?
