iptables excess logging

Hello Mark,

Thanks for the advice.

But now I have a new problem. The syslog logs millions of such
entries:

Source and Destination to 127.0.0.1

Oct  5 10:35:17 nessusClient kernel: INPUT packets:IN=lo OUT=
MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1
DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=30292 DF
PROTO=TCP SPT=631 DPT=34189 WINDOW=32754 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0 

Source = various ; Destination to 255.255.255.0

Oct  5 10:51:09 nessusClient kernel: INPUT eth1 Ext:IN=eth1
OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:08:74:ab:0d:27:08:00
SRC=134.126.21.83 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=68 TOS=0x00
PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=39383 PROTO=UDP SPT=1226 DPT=7100 LEN=48
 
Can you advise how to make the log less cumbersome
(--log-level?) and not log unnecesary information like traffic
from 127.0.0.1 or broadcasts?

I am very thankful.
