to understand log file

Hi,
I'm a novice in security system.

I would undestand format firewall's logs or format log of any applications relate to security problems (for example al ssh's logs).

Have you any idea where I can begin from ?

Have you got any particular link?

Who can help me ?

Hi Diego

Hi Diego, welcome to LQ.org!

Probably the best collection of links is unSpawn's sticky thread in this forum.

Click. Read. Learn.

Enjoy!

If you're having problems sorting out important security-related events, you might want to look into logwatch or sawmill.
