Can't see drop-rate for packets?[IPS] New Snort-user

Hi (again),

I'm setting up my own Snort for a test-scenario. All works well, but I'm not sure how I should read the output when I 
close Snort with CTRL+C.
I did read http://manual.snort.org/node9.html but it doesn't make sense for me.. I'm running Snort as IPS, so I guess 
the title "Verdicts" isn't anything relevant for me?
When I use my rule, a drop rule, and send traffic which should be dropped from it, Packet I/O Totals - Dropped: shows 
0(zero).
The traffic is dropped since I can't access the site I'm dropping packets to the website. So my rule is working 
properly.
I need to have some good statics what Snort did with the packets, how many where dropped? I'm sorry if I'm missing 
something obvious..

Yours,
Blixten
