Some of equipment does not support correct monitoring of particular errors via standard SNMP requests (example - Juniper SRX licenses expiration). In this case getting and analyzing syslogs as well as creating event-based alerts/notifications brings great relief of a network administrator life! The second case - is a simple analyzing firewall log events as SolarWinds Log Analyzer (LA) can keep logs for a longer time than an equipment built-in tool.
