problems with snort logging to both database and /var/log/snort

My environment consists of 2 machines: a sensor and an analyzer. The sensor is running snort in packet sniffing mode and logging to a binary tcpdump file that every hour is pulled off the sensor from the analyzer via scp. On the analyzer the binary tcpdump file is read in using the following syntax: snort -c /etc/snort/sensor.snort.conf -r tcp.2001102515 I have configured my logging as such: output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT LOG_PID output database: alert, mysql, user=XXXXXX password=XXXXXX dbname=snort host=localhost sensor_name=XXXXXX While snort is properly logging to the database, it is also dumping data into the /var/log/snort directory in the form of IP address named sub-directories with alerts contained in said directories. Is there a switch or a parameter in my snort.conf that I can use to prevent this extraneous logging?
