I am trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this.  I want my analysts to see a variable I capture with byte 
extract in their alert display.  Ideally it could just be inserted into the message field like below. I could also use 
Unified2 alerts with an extra custom field maybe where I create some sort of plugin to grab the value and insert it 
into a Unified2 alert.  Trying to decide what is the easiest way to do it.

I just answered this over on the devel list.

There is no way to modify the msg from the content of a packet at this time.
