         Don't write to the signatures logging stream.

      .. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_QUIET Signatures::Action

         Process through the various aggregate techniques, but don't
         report individually and don't write to the signatures logging
         stream.

      .. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_LOG Signatures::Action

         Generate a notice.

      .. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_FILE_BUT_NO_SCAN Signatures::Action

         The same as :zeek:enum:`Signatures::SIG_LOG`, but ignore for
         aggregate/scan processing.

      .. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_ALARM Signatures::Action

         Generate a notice and set it to be alarmed upon.

      .. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_ALARM_PER_ORIG Signatures::Action

      sig_id: :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
