Hi mom et al,

I wanna get some info on syslog practices and reporting from you cats.

1) Does anyone use syslog from your firewalls?
2) If so, what are you doing with the data?
3) Are you generating reports or using the raw data?
4) If reports are created, what are you using?
5) If you aren't creating reports, how is the data useful to you and
why maintain it?
6) Do you and/or your customers care about what is traversing the
firewall?
7) This space for rent.

Any serious firewalling requires logging and log analysis.

Look at the data, analyze them.

Both.

The tools vary depending on log format, type of firewall, customer/project
etc.

To look for sprecial events.
