How do I log the results of my iptables logging to a custom file in /var/logs? I tried several different suggestions found via Google but none of them worked. For example, I tried the suggestions here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... r-iptables
but I am using LMDE2 and it uses systemd. I tried replacing syslog with a new systemd config file but that got me nowhere.

Re: iptables logging output to custom file
I figured it out:
To direct output of iptables logging do the following:
(1) go to the folder rsyslog.d
(2) create a blank text file with the name "10-iptables.conf". Note that the numeral ten here is vital because it tells the OS to processes this file first.
(3) in the file paste the following:
if ( $msg contains 'IN=' and $msg contains 'OUT=' )
then {
/var/log/iptables.log
stop
}
(4) then restart
sudo service rsyslog restart
This is the very last reply in the link I I posted in the OP but it is the only one that worked.
