Hilal:

Consider using Linux, or some Unix variant (FreeBSD, etc.) for Syslog. 

Windows is an inferior, and bulky platform for this sort of stuff. Syslog is
enabled by default in Linux/Unix, and you can parse, and store the data to
your heart's content using PERL/Awk/etc. Besides, you'll learn more.

Dear List,

i have cisco pix firewall that is sending it log data to a cisco syslog 
server (windowsxp workstation).
it is working fine with me since it is a service, so i willl be sure that it

is running whenever the server is up and running.

But i have two questions concerning this syslog:
1 - the log files are too big since everyfile contains the whole day logs, 
and since the file size is about 400 + Mb, i am not able to open it. kindly,

is there any third party utility which i can use to manage (open, check, 
filter, ....) the log files of the cisco syslog?

2 - is there any other syslog server which could work with the cisco pix 
firewalls, and which is a service and NOT an application?

your fast respond is highly appreciated,

with regards,
Hilal
