[Disclaimer: I'm a Prelude developer :-)]

For XML IDMEF use:

prelude-manager --xmlmod -l /path/to/file

(xmlmod is not enabled in distribution config file)

Human-readable data by default config goes in /var/log/prelude.log, unless
you pass -l to textmod plugin, i.e:

prelude-manager --textmod -l /path/to/file

It can of course be combined, i.e:

prelude-manager --xmlmod -l /path/to/xml/file --textmod -l
/path/to/text/file

prelude-manager -h for complete list of options.

The same effect can be accomplished by modifying setup in
/usr/local/etc/prelude-manager/prelude-manager.conf

BTW, configuration of plugins is independent, i.e. xmlmod does not care if
you have database support or not.
