The PIX writes syslog messages when it fails over, so set up logging to a syslog server and then you can search for the failover messages there, they'll be timestamped. Set up logging with:

logging on

logging trap errors

logging timestamp

logging host

Syslog messages can be found here:

The ones you're interested in are in the 101001-105xxx range, particularly 104xxx.

You can set up a syslog server on any Unix device you have, or there's a free Windows syslog server at www.kiwisyslog.com
