Log file for icmp requests
I'm not a unix expert so I need to ask what maybe a simple question to some. Is there a log file which records any icmp packets hitting the server? I ask, because I need to verify what the ip is from a server pinging mine.

Generally speaking: no. Some firewalls can log ICMP packets, if configured to do so, but for that we'd need to know which OS we're talking about.

You could use snoop to capture the icmp packets and save them to a file.
