Hi, The NG compatibility is still under work. Since I do not have NG I rely on others passing me the output of fw log on NG. I received a few and I'll soon start working on it. In a distributed environment, the ideal is to leave the server run on the FW management station and the client somewhere else, perhaps where a Web server runs so that the output can be shown via web. What you log really depends on what you want to analyze on your statistics (and viceversa). I always log everything, at the end it's only a few megabyte data a day which it can be easily compressed and archived on tapes. Not logging the last drop is not a good idea, IMHO as it makes very difficult to track down FW problems and does not help in finding out possible attacks.
