I'm sure this will be asked or told to you a hundred times, but:

If all you want snort to do is look at packets, why did you use
snort-inline instead of snort? did you look at the docs at all?

The whole point of using snort-inline is to use iptables.  It's like
ordering a cheeseburger and then complaining that it has cheese. Go get a
hamburger...


The point is, that snort does not see anything when iptables is restricting access to the machine.

I want snort to look at all packages on the interface but iptables still to work as a stateful firewall and both at the same time is a little tricky.

Perhaps you can launch snort-inline with just the rules that you want drop, replace, etc ....
and launch a snort in the same time just for have a look on all packets.

Sorry if it's stupid as idea, I don't know very snort-inline.

Guillaume
