Firewall monitoring question?

I've been given the task of monitoring what our firewall is doing. I not very familiar with this area so I thought I would see if I could get some help from you guys.

I've installed kiwi syslog and it is working fine. I even downloaded a trial of sawmill from sawmill.net. This is placing everything in a nice report format.

My main question is...what do I do with this data. I see some IP address that are being denied etc but how do I make sense of all this. I'll post some examples from my log below.
