Yes, this is possible... When tagging packets associated with
events, subsequent packets are logged as they arrive, and could
be interspersed with other events and packets.


Within the unified2 structure, there is an event ID, and all
data associated with a unique event are logged with that event ID.

That includes the event itself, any associated packets, as well
as extra data events (eg, X-Forwarded-For data from HTTP that was
added in 2.9.0).

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

But events they way they are logged are logged with a event header and
a packet header if needed right?


[UNIFIED2 EVENT 1]
[UNIFIED2 PACKET 1]

[UNIFIED2 EVENT 2]
[UNIFIED2 PACKET 2]

[UNIFIED2 EVENT 3]
[UNIFIED2 PACKET 3]


And not

[UNIFIED2 EVENT 1]
[UNIFIED2 EVENT 2]

[UNIFIED2 EVENT 3]
[UNIFIED2 PACKET 2]
[UNIFIED2 PACKET 3]
[UNIFIED2 PACKET 1]


Right?

Thanks in advance.
