PIX vs syslog (Real-time visual tracking)

ROBERTO TACCON — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 07:51:28 GMT

I need a program that do a 'real time' parsing of the syslog output from Cisco PIX firewalls:

to perform searches on or filter log records to quickly locate and track events of interest.

(like the CheckPoint SmartView Tracker consolle http://www.checkpoint.com/products/smartcenter/smartcenter_logging.html).

Please can you tell me if tehre's something like that ?

Thanks in advance to all.

Thanks for the info, but what i really want is a 'real time' syslog function for parsing the output:

with checkpoint smartview tracker for example you can FILTER the logging in 'real time': if you want verify only the packets with a specific source IP address or detination or etc. you can view only this rows on the consolle.

You have to invest a little bit of money. But do not forget that for a CheckPoint SmartConsole tou pay also a some x 1000 USD.

eiqnetwork's firewall analyser is good, as patrick said... you can try a eval version of the same and let us know its performance..
