Question, do we need to set a retention time or could we manually clear up the logs? We are planning to have a retention time for a month or maybe a bit more.

Sure. Set it for the amount of time you want to retain and just watch the log sizes as you move forward through time. You should be all set.

I need help setting up a Syslog server. I need to capture the logs of my Cisco ASAs on this server so I can check these logs at a later time.<br />
<br />
Is there a software or program know to work well to do this task and that complies with FINRA and HIPPA and preferably free?<br />
<br />
How much capacity should I allocate to collect these logs?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help.

How to setup a Syslog Server?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
