Title: Firewall Logs - What is Everyone Doing?
Post by: spetrillo on June 01, 2019, 07:08:33 PM
Hello all,

I am new to OPNsense and clearly there are logs that I would like to be able to review, from time to time, so make sure there is nothing getting through that I do not want. Keeping the logs on the firewall, long term, does not seem like a good idea. I am thinking of building a dedicated syslog server, to take in logs from the firewall and other network devices.

A couple of questions:

1) Do you have a syslog server app that you would recommend?
2) Is there a front end to Suricata that would allow me insight into what is going on from an IDS/IPS perspective?
3) Do you run NTOPNG on the OPNsense firewall or do you run it independently of the firewall?

Thanks,
Steve
