I meant syslog on the Solaris box with Ciscoworks 2000 installed on the same
box, so you are using the Operating systems syslog server. You can also use
the CiscoWorks Collector to pull syslogs off of other Syslog servers. So I
am not sure what you are talking about. This is exactly what Cisco
recommended to me and there is no problem handling the amount of traffic for
4 PIX 525 box's, 8 routers and 8 switch's. Maybe with more devices you
would distribute the logs and use the Collector to pull certain information.

Thanks

Cisco Works syslog feature cannot handle a PIX traffic and is not
recommended by Cisco to do so. They recommend Private Eye to do PIX
syslogging. There are many free syslog daemons on the internet for NT, Linux
or Unix. I have tried a couple but cannot remember there names right now. We
use Private eye because the CIO wants reports and it was the best we found
for that.

It will log all denied packets by default. Easiest way to read it is if you
are logging to a syslog server. Set your level to log warnings and higher,
unless of course your debugging then log everything. I use ciscoworks
(Resource Essentials) to centrally monitor all the networking gear. It
works great, you can set up automated pages from event's received in the
syslog server (from the PIX)

How do I make a PIX tell me what packets it is denying?
