don't have any documentation, these are just tags I created to distinguish 
firewall events from the default DROP,REJECT,PASS actions. I posted a few 
decoders on my local_decoder so that I can handle each type of event and 
make a decision on whether or not I should send a notification to my mobile 
( high lvl alert).

*--log-prefix **prefix* Prefix log messages with the specified prefix; up 
to 29 letters long, and useful for distinguishing messages in the logs.

firewall event actions need to be specifically tied to "DROP" or stated in 
/src/analysis/alerts/log.c ? What I'm hopping can be accomplished is the 
ability to match a firewall type rule against a log entry and have it 
fire'n log to alerts.log based on an action I can state with 
local_rules.xml and control with local_decoders.xml.
