fwLOGview

I recently had the opportunity to try out fwLOGview, a powerful log viewer designed for Linux netfilter/iptables, Cisco Pix, *BSD ipfilter, Fortigate, and other types of logs. As a graphical and real-time tool, it displays your log entries in colors that are related to the corresponding firewall action, making it easy to quickly identify important information.

One of the features I appreciated most about fwLOGview was its customizable column view. Users can choose which columns to show or hide, and even adjust the order in which they are displayed. Additionally, the ability to apply filters to the log data ensures that you can focus your attention on the entries that matter most.

The latest version of fwLOGview includes a few notable updates. Specifically, a fix was implemented for a bug that previously caused the fwlogmgmd to exit after attempting to load a saved log. Additionally, a new parser was added to better handle Fortigate firewall logs.

Overall, I was impressed with the functionality and ease-of-use provided by fwLOGview. If you're in need of a robust log viewer for your Linux-based system, this tool is definitely worth considering.
