This was recently discussed on the list. All the records for the same event 
come out one after another. There is a chance that some other event may sneak 
in during the dump. But you can pretty well assume that if there are no more 
records emitted with the same serial number/time stamp within 2-3 seconds, 
you have a complete event.
 Also, is it safe to assume a type 1300 message is always the first
 message pertaining to a rule violation? 
Maybe not. I'd not make that assumption just to be safe. Collect the full 
event's information, then look at the message types.
