Logging: Enhanced, Standarized Log Viewer with support for logical operators
Please implement a reader friendly log-, and live log reader which will output any of the the text logs to a formatted output (similar to the actual paket filter live log). Should offer following features for viewing all types of logs:
- formatted output (as paketfilter live log)
- colored (drop, pass, block, info and so on)
- expression filters
- possibility to filter (do not show) logentries (similar to user portal / smtp log), where you can hide unwanted informations)

Since the log viewers are different within the device, align them. So have one way logs are viewed. That way they are no longer different per product.
The mail manager has a great view, packet filter is ok the rest is unedited txt.
Main issue is, you get everything all the time and are unable to cut and slice through it to only find what you need without using third party tools. -

Absolutely. The IPS and HTTP logs are difficult to read as it scrolls horizontally and nothing is aligned. You currently have to really study the log and it is easy to miss things; you should be able to see things at a glance.

yes please implement cokumn view and color marking possibility, would also be great to pipe multiple logs into one window e.g. firewall and proxy in to one log window

A "column view" is urgently needed, especially for logs with very long lines (like in the WAF or the HTTP Proxy).
Also, the used technology (javascript?) for auto-scrolling breaks down every web browser if the log lines come in too fast. If you open http proxy log in a environment where MANY users are surfing, the browser will hang. This should be re-designed, too. -

There is already a more or less similar (extended) feature request for better readable logs here

Because i cant Edit my idea i had to write it as a comment:
The white- or blacklistentry that matches schould be highlighted in the live log. This will take much lower time to find out which rule is the one, that makes the match. -

I agree, opening the logs in notepad isn't easy to read and find data. Maybe using a database backend to store log files with a interactive front end will make it easy to filter, read, sort and manipulate large volumes of log files.
Thanks

...and it's difficult to follow some live logs as IPS, HTTP or SMTP, because you have to scroll horizontally between left and right corner to find requested informations. Coloring loglines and possibility of filtering out unnecessary informations would ease work with (live) logs.

hear hear! Browsing the logs, particularly in a bigger environment, is a pain. Time-outs occur frequently, getting a quick overview of the data you want is hardly possible when you don't have an outside logging server.
