Sorry for the long delay in getting back.

Out of curiosity, why don't you use auparse to write your BSM
reformatter?
(1) I hadn’t run across the code repository until after you had mentioned it (I’ve only
been actively looking at Linux auditing for a few weeks), and (2) I am still very much in
the learning phase, trying to figure out what is in the data, what type of configuration I
would like, etc.
I will take a look at auparse soon. I am particularly interested in performance. My first
parsing effort is *way* too slow. I use C++ regex a lot, and that seems to be a problem.
If anyone is interested is seeing Linux audit data (along with BSM) on a Mac, I posted a
blog entry along with a little video:

We will likely be needing to make changes soon and it would insulate
you from those kinds of issues.
Can I ask what type of changes and what is motivating the changes?
Thanks,
Todd
