Snort not generating alerts

[bobby via Snort-users <snort-users () lists snort org>]

I am running Snort on a Ubuntu 16 server.  I made sure my interface is in
promiscuous mode.  I've also tested the configuration file, and it returned
fine.  I tested with local.rules, for ICMP alerts, which works file.  But
when Snort is running, no alerts are generated otherwise.  I went through
my rules, and I have over 80,000 rules active.  I am not sure if this
matters, but they are set to 'drop'.
Please advise.  Thank you.
