What's the best tool for usage reporting on a NetScreen Firewall?

  • 772

Anyone got a good product for Usage Reporting for a NetScreen Firewall.

I went looking for Webtrends Firewall Suite but it appears to have disappeared into the NetIQ product line up.

I am going to try out ManageEngine (I think is also AdventNet)'s Firewall Log Analyzer.

But wanted to know if anyone had any good recommendations.

Thanks,

Rob

    I work at NetIQ and can confirm that WebTrends Firewall Suite became NetIQ Firewall Suite back in 2001, it was subsequently sold to Marshal (marshal8e6.com) in 2006. I believe you would now be looking at Marshal8e6 Security Reporting Center.

  2. Having asked this question before, the resounding answer was to enable Counting on the interfaces of interest. However, I didn't find it very nice to look at or easy to digest.

  3. The Netscreen SNMP MIB includes counters for all interfaces and policies, so you should be able to graph them using Cacti or a similar SNMP monitoring product. (I haven't implemented policy graphs yet myself, or I would have linked to them.)
