If your firewall is able to send logs to a syslog server I suggest:

Asunto: Log management software for Windows


Hello group,

I want to retain security and event log data on a Windows machine that is
generated on other machines; for example: the IDS log from my firewall.
This is not as simple as retaining a file because the firewall does not
create a file (it has no hard drive).  The firewall is equipped to export
(stream) the log data to a computer (by IP address), but the Windows
machine, without additional software, has no concept what this incoming data
stream is or what to do with it.  I understand that Linux comes with log
management software... but I want to use a Windows machine; so, the question
is: Do you know of any good but free or cheap log management software that
will run on a Windows machine?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Ken
