I need something to create reports for traffic on my PIX 
firewall..freeware..I'm a not for profit.

I'm logging to a loghost, but I'm not making much progress parsing the logs 
looking for connections to ports and the like...I'm trying.

While we're familiarizing our selves with the traffic we're running it wide 
open. I've identified my servers and the ports needed for them and created 
access-lists for them. When I do a sho access-list, I can see the hits 
incrementing so I know they're working. I also created access lists for a 
port in general such as FTP or WWW and can see that even though my known 
servers are collecting occurances (they are first in the access list) the 
general rule like "FTP or WWW any any" is also getting occurances. My 
problem is that the sho mechanism of the PIX only tells me that my rule got 
a hit, but there's no way of finding out exactly who and where this 
happened. I can't see anything in the logs that makes sense. Even if I were 
to make it a deny, the only time it will tell you if  a rule got hit the 
log file only tells me that the access-group got hit and won't tell me what 
rule or port of it go the hit. If the PIX were like the access-lists on the 
routers where you can log regardless of an permit or a deny it would be 
step in the right direction.

I played with check point a few years ago and if my memory serves me well 
it seemed to be much more robust in the reporting mechanism than the PIX.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
