Troubleshooting Zabbix Iptables

[heskez]

Hi there, I supect a communication problem between My zabbix server and firewall object I'd like to monitor. I can't see SNMP UDP traffic being handled by my firewall so i'd like to do some tcpdump or logging on the ipatables firewall on the zabbix box.

So I put in these commands:

iptables -N LOGGING
iptables -A INPUT -j LOGGING
iptables -A LOGGING -m limit --limit 2/min -j LOG --log-prefix "IPTables-Dropped: " --log-level 4
iptables -A LOGGING -j DROP

However, there isn't a /var/log/messages file present on the box

Has anyone a clue how to proceed from here?
