You can try Private-I from OpenSystems.com. They have analysis modules for PIX and 
IOS, CheckPoint, generic syslog collection facilities, etc...  It's good for 
windows-based centralization.  To configure the analysis part is a bit of a pain 
though... it's definitely a manual process.

Subject: Syslog Monitoring Question


I have four PIX firewalls that I manage I also have one FreeBSD IDS (Snort 
-> MySQL -> ACID).  I have recently gotten to the point where I need to 
centralize the monitoring.  I have two Network Monitoring systems One is

Win2K which runs CiscoWorks 2k Routed WAN and SolarWinds Bandwidth Monitor,
then another
Red Hat 7.1 running MRTG, Apache and various perl scripts I use for rolling 
out changes to the Network.

I am considering adding an Free(or Open)BSD IDS at every firewall and was 
thinking of using each as a local syslog server as well, but my staff needs 
an easy GUI for sorting through syslog messages to debug PIX problems.

I would like to maintain a syslog server/IDS at each site and have the 
syslog messages collected in a central location where a windows based tool 
can be used to filter through all the entries at once.  I do want each site 
to have its own copy of the local syslog messages incase the WAN goes down 
but I do not want the staff to have to connect to each individual server.


Any suggestions?
