I have worked through the installation and configuration such that the packets are getting through iptables to Suricata. I have turned on DNS and HTTP logging and the packets are showing up in the logs. I have tried testing the system but it does not seem to generate any alerts or drop and packets. The drop.log and fast.log files remain empty.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I tried running the ‘wget <a href="http://www.testmyips.com">http://www.testmyips.com</a>’ test from the old documentation but only the request is logged in http.log.

I was able to find a rule that looks like it should match but again, nothing shows up in the fast.log or drop.log.
