BorderReporter is a java-based GUI tool for analyzing BorderManager common log files.

Use BorderReporter to:

• Import common log files into MySQL.
• Generate daily and monthly stats.
• Save stats as HTML files.
• Perform custom queries (no SQL knowledge required).
• Save query results as an XLS spreadsheet.
• Click a URL to open in a browser.

Requires: Java(tm) runtime environment (JRE) and access to MySQL server

Border Recorder:

Border Recorder is a companion application that runs in the background to dump BorderManager(R) common log files into the mysql database nightly. The use of Border Recorder is optional. The advantage of using it is that you will always have the previous day's log in your database. Border Recorder also keeps monthly statistics about BorderManager(R) common log files.
