When I look at logzilla (as in zabbix), I don't see any analysis capabilities; only aggregation, filtering, and simple rule based pattern matching. This is really not "analysis" in my view.

For example, "analysis" would be a software process that can detect, from Apache2 log files, when an IP address is a "bot" (web spider) without looking at the user agent (UA). This is not easy in the general case and requires some pretty sophisticated analysis over time.
Yeah, I`m using zabbix too. But I can`t get it work well with log files. I only use it for specified process, event, etc.. I wrote bash scripts and then use zabbix trapper. Zabbix is good for system monitoring, but not for log files I think.

NAME
ratproxy - a passive web application security assessment tool SYNOPSIS
ratproxy [-w logfile] [-v logdir] [-p port] [-d domain] [-P host:port] [-xtifkgmjscael2XCr] DESCRIPTION
Ratproxy is a semi-automated, largely passive web application security audit tool. It is meant to complement active crawlers and manual proxies more commonly used for this task, and is optimized specifically for an accurate and sensitive detection, and automatic annotation, of potential problems and security-relevant design patterns based on the observation of existing, user-initiated traffic in complex web 2.0 environments. OPTIONS
-w logfile - write results to a specified file (default: stdout) -v logdir - write HTTP traces to a specified directory (default: none) -p port - listen on a custom TCP port (default: 8080) -d domain - analyze requests to specified domains only (default: all) -P host:port - use upstream proxy for all requests (format host:port) -r - accept remote connections (default: 127.0.0.1 only) -l - use response length, not checksum, for identity check -2 - perform two, not one, page identity check -e - perform pedantic caching headers checks -x - log all XSS candidates -t - log all directory traversal candidates -i - log all PNG files served inline -f - log all Flash applications for analysis (add -v to decompile) -s - log all POST requests for analysis -c - log all cookie setting URLs for analysis -g - perform XSRF token checks on all GET requests -j - report on risky Javascript constructions -m - log all active content referenced across domains -X - disruptively validate XSRF, XSS protections -C - try to auto-correct persistent side effects of -X -k - flag HTTP requests as bad (for HTTPS-only applications) -a - indiscriminately report all visited URLs EXAMPLES
Example settings suitable for most tests: 1) Low verbosity : -v <outdir> -w <outfile> -d <domain> -lfscm 2) High verbosity : -v <outdir> -w <outfile> -d <domain> -lextifscgjm 3) Active testing : -v <outdir> -w <outfile> -d <domain> -XClfscm Multiple -d options are allowed.
