can't see iptables logs

[foxbat]

hi guys and gals. I need some help with regards to extracting iptables logs from the journal. This is what my iptables looks like.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[odroid@odroid-xu ~]$ sudo iptables -L -v
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 10 packets, 720 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
10 720 logging all -- any any anywhere anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 6 packets, 848 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
6 848 logging all -- any any anywhere anywhere

Chain logging (2 references)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
5 440 LOG all -- any any anywhere anywhere limit: avg 2/min burst 5 LOG level debug prefix "IPTables general: "
')

as you can see its set to log every packet *this is for debugging purpose*. Unfortunately i dont see any logging in the journal. I know that the logging works in my debian system and im sure it works in Arch as well but i am unsure on how to extract the data.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '-- Logs begin at Sun 2012-01-01 11:00:05 EST. --

this is output of journal

Ok, after further digging around. I found that none of the kernel messages are being logged by journal. I issued the journalctl -k command and nothing showed up. Then i issued dmesg and i saw a whole bunch logs that was not in the journal. This is on the odroid-xu image. However i dont have this problem with the desktop version of Arch or the odroid-u3 image. Mods if possible could you please move this to the appropriate forum.

I am experiencing this same issue. Did you happen to find a solution to this?

It seems no kernel messages are being logged by systemd. journalctl -k returns nothing. I've tried changing the systemd log target via kernel boot arguments, but this didn't seem to help..
