The 'LOG_LEVEL' controls how "serious" a blocked/dropped packet is

Firehol does the right thing by logging all traffic that you don't have
an explicit rule for by default.

Perhaps you want to look at tuning the level down very low, then
adjusting your syslog configuration to discard those message?

That is where the decision about which log files the packets are
recorded to is made.  (With the normal LOG target, of course.)
