Reporter
The reporter built-in functions allow for the scripting layer to
generate messages of varying severity. If no event handlers
exist for reporter messages, the messages are output to stderr.
If event handlers do exist, it’s assumed they take care of determining
how/where to output the messages.
See base/frameworks/reporter/main.bro for a convenient
reporter message logging framework.
