IPTables Logging

Hi,

We are implementing IP Tables on the servers as Host Based Firewall
and these have be integrated into the SIEM. What are the best
practices for integrating IPTables into a SIEM solution.

Questions are :
1 - Should we be logging both incoming and outgoing?
2 - Should we be logging dropped packets?
3 - Assume we log it, whats the situation with regards to limiting the
log rate? I
Cheers
