Firewall log analyzer suggestion

[AaronAdams]

I have several client sites using Netgear firewalls, mostly the FVS318. When the log space on each firewall fills up, the contents are e-mailed to me and Mail rules place them in an appropriate folder. I’d like to be able to analyze the logs I’ve collected in much the same way Apache log files can be analyzed with Webalizer or AWstats. Can anyone suggest software to do this? Free is good, but non-free utilities will also be considered.

Well, since you haven’t had any response yet, I’ll throw in 2 cents worth:

I made a FileMaker database into which I import the log files. Then I use searching/sorting to look through it. It’s linked to a database of our static IP addresses, so I can see who’s involved. Pretty simple, but my logfiles generally aren’t that big, and the SonicWall logs aren’t very detailed anyway.
