My experiences (I assume you specifically mean the audit logs): Prewikka would be for IDS events only with the prelude plugin. I use the audit-viewer with pre-constructed list tabs to match events necessary for verification testing. For faster results when looking for specific events or investigation, I use the command line tools aureport and ausearch. What would be great IMHO is to have a prewikka-like web interface for the audit events. HTH, LCB -- LC (Lenny) Bruzenak [email protected] I also used the au tools (aureport, aufind, etc) but just wanting a average user to view the bad events brings the need of a point a click interface. The people that now read the audit events for the windows servers are spoiled by the cornerbowl tool. I tossed together a little script that dumps the audit events into a array, then sorts them and dumps them out but the users want a red background for bad and so on. Before I went crazy trying to put something together I wanted to see what was out in the wild. I guess something that dumps the files into a MySQL tables would be the easiest to work with.
