Can anyone recommend a good log analyzer? Preferably something that
free or inexpensive. Seems like Dr. Chuvakin uses netForensics, but
this is not free.

Thanks.

Google is your friend on this one :-)

If you have to pick only from free tools, look at Splunk (for search
and some analysis) and for sawmill (for some reports and summaries)

I'll throw OSSEC out as another free option as well (http://www.ossec.net).

I will recommend OSSEC as well. And note that me and Andrew are
completely unbiased
regarding it.

Thanks,
