Question:

How do I analyze Novell BorderManager indexed log files?

Symptoms:

  • Error: 'Could not generate the report. Possible reasons include: 1) The log file contains no records from firewalls you are licensed for. 2) The log file contains no data. 3) The log file contains no valid log file records.'
  • This error occurs when Novell BorderManager log files are analyzed by an outgoing profile.

Causes:

The log file format is in an "indexed" log file format, which cannot be analyzed by Firewall Suite.

Procedure:

Firewall Suite will only analyze Novell BorderManager log files that are in either a "Common" or "Extended" format.
