Log
###

The ``suricata.log`` Lua library exposes the Suricata application
logging functions to Lua scripts. These are equivalant to
``SCLogNotice``, ``SCLogError``, etc, in the Suricata source.

In Suricata, the logging priority order is:

* Error
* Warning
* Notice
* Info
* Perf
* Config
* Debug

.. note:: Debug logging will only work if Suricata was compiled with
          ``--enable-debug``.

Setup
*****

To use the logging functions, first require the module::

    local logger = require("suricata.log")
