For simple problem resolution, the logviewer is a good place to be(as long as the
problem is being logged - hint, FW-1 <=v4.0 doesn't log policy properties). You see
almost immediately, the successes and failures(both intended and not intended ;-)
If what you want is after the fact short &/or long term problem analysis, look into
something along the lines of WebTrends for Firewalls & VPNs(www.webtrends.com). It
iwll create reports and put them into a very detailed HTML, among other formats(see
examples on their site). These can also be scheduled.
Like most logging, it's a reactive world. If you need something to tell you if your
being 'attacked', then IDS's are the area closer to proactivity.
Best of Luck!
