Logging / Monitoring Web Usage

[rebelscum]

Hi, I have recently purchased a Cisco Firewall [ASA 5510, ASA 8.4.2, ASDM 6.4.5] & I need to start keeping logs of which websites individuals are visiting & for how long/often. Can anyone advise please? Heard mention of Syslog Server or a 3rd party firewall log analyzer just wondered what is the best/most popular.

p.s. I don't currently have a SmartNet contract so can't download any Cisco software until I buy one. Beginning to realise I may have to if I need to make any progress...

I don't believe you can do this with just the ASA alone.  You might want to ask this question in the firewall forum.

I agree with what Vance mentioned. ASA alone would not help you in this task. I guess you need to get some third-party vendor/product. Please review this product features
