Webpage Monitoring with ASA 5510

[DanM3]

We currently have an ASA 5510 and we are interested in a program that will take logs from the ASA and parse them into reports to show which webpages users are visiting, how often they are visiting, length of time, etc.

We have already looked in to Websense and it is beyond our budget. Is there something that is cheaper? We only need reporting, no blocking at this time.

Thank you

You could export the logs to a syslog server and then use a program called firegen to sort the logs

You could look at using a free proxy such as squid. You could force all browsers to use it as a proxy if they want web traffic or you could use it in transparent mode. All web traffic will be logged and reports can be made. To learn more about squid and the fine features it support got to the URL below.

You could always hire little green men with timers but that may be overkill.
