RE: RE: Router Internet Monitoring

["Brian Recore" <brecore () mindsync net>]

On the pix you can suppress different types of messages to you won't see
them in the log.  You do it by the specific message number at the beginning
of the log message.  I have down it for one or two messages but I would
think much more than that would be to administrative.  It could also defeat
the whole purpose of logging because you suppress the messages for
everything not just per interface (I am pretty sure).

Problem with Pix is it is logging literally everything, hence we have
multiple DMZs.. for frame, dial-up, internet, internal, etc. I have not
fully explored filtering, we use Kiwi Syslog Daemon for logging but the file
grows extremely huge. In the future, SQL solution (which it supports) will
be implemented but for now I need something live to monitor.

Can you use the Cisco Pix Device Manager to filter the log?

if you tell your PIX to log to a syslog server and ramp up the PIX logging
to informational youll see every URL connection made from withinyour
network.
