I am working on this same task. We are currently evaluating LogAppliance from FireVue (http://www.firevue.com/LA-PIX%20datasheet.pdf). It's basically a syslog server with a web front end and a MySQL back end runnign on a linux distribution. You configure your PIX to send debug level syslog entries to it and it generates traffic logs based on the TCP connections and teardown events. However, at this point in time, I'm not real impressed with what I see. The box is around $20,000 including one year maintenance and seems to be lacking in any real reporting features. I'm being told that the reporting features are in the works and will be added soon. I also seem to be having difficulty always finding the info I want and find myself going back to my old syslog server looking for attack trends that this box seems to mask. I would love to know what other admins are using. I'm looking for something that will allow me to see trends and also do some analysis graphs. -- John -----Original Message----- From: Luciano Z [mailto:user_luciano () yahoo com br] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2003 2:01 PM To: firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com Subject: [fw-wiz] performance management on pix firewalls Hi!
