      Hello everyone,

      I am replacing a set of Linux based firewalls with PF boxes and can do most everything I need to with the PF boxes save a few.

      The big one right now is I need to be able to produce a daily list of firewall activity such as dropped/rejected packets per interface as well was statistical break down of packets per interface. Management has gotten used to a daily emailed Logwatch report so reporducing that or something similar would be great. A package would be totally awesome of course, :)

      Does anyone have any thoughts on that or experience setting Logwatch up? I have tried to do the remote syslog thing but no tool I used seem to work well with the log output.

      Thanks for any help in advance!

      Rich

        There's an open ticket to do something like this, but it will have to wait until after 2.0 is released.

        I have some ideas on what to do, but no code yet.

        What kind of statistics are you used to seeing? Do you have a sample report? (with anything identifying removed, of course)

          Hope this helps.

          Any idea when we will see 2.0? I have been loving 1.2.3 and love the new stuff in 2.0 especialy the key managment for openvpn.

          Thanks again!!
