Pretty access logs

[Kevin P. Foote]

Dan, 

There is tons of info in your audit log as you have seen.. There are a
few projects on the contributions page[1] that make this data visually mean
something to mgmt types. 

The quickest to set up, in my experience, is the IdP Audit Log Analysis
Tool[2]. I have this send nightly emails to management from each IdP. 

Additionally if you're pretty quick at scripting you can do a lot with
shell tools on a plain linux host.. I have a few scripts that I use to
help when management has specific questions about individual logins and
access requests.
