In a consolidated log, they are not equal. I suppose that should be fixed in
the next release.
Right, but the way the cmp operator works is if it's not equal it's
either less than or greater than, neither of which is meaningful as a
result if they are not from the same host, right?
Currently the API does not support a way to return an error code for the
compare function, but it's an error to compare two records who do not
share the same host value. At the moment all I can think of is that
auparse_timestamp_compare() will have to be deprecated and replaced with
a different function, unless you have a better idea. Suggestions?
