:Type: :zeek:type:`enum`
.. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_IGNORE Signatures::Action
Ignore this signature completely (even for scan detection).
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
Alarm once per originator.
.. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_ALARM_ONCE Signatures::Action
Alarm once and then never again.
.. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_COUNT_PER_RESP Signatures::Action
Count signatures per responder host and alarm with the
:zeek:enum:`Signatures::Count_Signature` notice if a threshold
defined by :zeek:id:`Signatures::count_thresholds` is reached.
.. zeek:enum:: Signatures::SIG_SUMMARY Signatures::Action
Don't alarm, but generate per-orig summary.
These are the default actions you can apply to signature matches.

declared otherwise.
