fwlogwatch is a packet filter and firewall log analyzer with support for Linux ipchains, Linux netfilter/iptables, Solaris/BSD/HP-UX/IRIX ipfilter, Cisco IOS, Cisco PIX/ASA, Netscreen, Elsa Lancom router, and Snort IDS log files. It can output its summaries in text and HTML and has a lot of options. fwlogwatch also features a realtime anomaly response capability with a Web interface.

Webalizer Xtended is a fork of Webalizer and contains a great number of feature improvements, such as monthly statistics for all "HTTP 404 Not Found" errors (including the number of these errors and the corresponding URLs) and additional configuration file keywords. Furthermore, all colors of the statistics can be defined by the user. Webalizer Xtended also fixes several (security-related) bugs in the original Webalizer code and contains the "Apache mod_logio" patch to generate more reliable traffic statistics.

Anteater is a log analyser for MTA logfiles (such
as those produced by sendmail and postfix). The
tool is written in 100% C++ and is very easy to
customize. Input, output, and the analysis are
modular class objects with a clear interface.
Currently, there are modules for reading the
syslog format of sendmail and postfix that do up
to eight useful analyses and write the result in
plain ASCII or HTML, to stdout or to files.

The Logfile Navigator, lnav for short, is a curses-based tool for viewing and analyzing log files. The value added by lnav over text viewers or editors is that it takes advantage of any semantic information that can be gleaned from the log file, such as timestamps and log levels. Using this extra semantic information, lnav can do things like interleaving messages from different files, generate histograms of messages over time, and provide hotkeys for navigating through the file. These features are meant to allow the user to quickly and efficiently focus on problems.

360-FAAR (Firewall Analysis Audit and Repair) is an offline, command line, Perl firewall policy manipulation tool to filter, compare to logs, merge, translate, and output firewall commands for new policies, in Checkpoint dbedit, Cisco ASA, or ScreenOS commands. It is all contained in one file. It can read policy and logs for: Checkpoint FW1 (in odumper.csv / logexport format), Netscreen ScreenOS (in get config / syslog format), and Cisco ASA (show run / syslog format). It uses both inclusive and exclusive CIDR and text filters, permitting you to split large policies into smaller ones for virutalization at the same time as removing unused connectivity. It supports policy to log association, object translation, rulebase reordering and simplification, rule moves, and duplicate matching automatically. It allows you to seamlessly move rules to where you need them. 'print' mode creates a spreadsheet for your audit needs with one command.

Maillog View is a Webmin module that allows you to easily view all your /var/log/maillog.* files. It features autorefresh, message size indication, ascending/descending view order, compressed file support, and a full statistics page. Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, and Qmail (partially) are supported. Courier MTA support is experimental.

Free-SA is tool for statistical analysis of daemons' log files, similar to SARG. Its main advantages over SARG are much better speed (7x-20x), more support for reports, and W3C compliance of generated HTML/CSS reports. It can be used to help control traffic usage, to control Internet access security policies, to investigate security incidents, to evaluate server efficiency, and to detect troubles with configuration.

Beobachter is a file monitor, usually used to
watch log files. It has a Java Swing interface
that allows the user to customize the highlighting
of the logs depending on the log type. It is a
very simple, multi-platform, fast, and practical
tool.

analyze is a tool for studying the raw logs generated by an Apache HTTP server. With no options, it gives page and count, hacks, 404s, and bandwidth. It has options for remote address with pages and counts; bots by robots.txt and page requests, downloads by IP and time, hacks by IP and time, referrers, and user-agents not listed as BOTS. Users of analyze must adjust the USER CONST section of the script to suit their own logs. It comes set to interpret a deep server's logs, but that is easily changed.

Lire is a pluggable log analyzer. It has analyzers for over 25 log file formats, ranging from Apache WWW log files to iptables firewall logs and CUPS printing logs. Reports are generated in 9 different output formats, ranging from Excel 95 to PDF to HTML, optionally with included graphs.
