You are correct as that is the data which is being processed however their example presented there is only one sample and there are variations even within the event types. I haven't realized some of this until now as well and points out the samples I gave were maybe not the best.

Their SYSCALL example: 3 records (SYSCALL, CWD and PATH)
The two samples I gave:3 records (SYSCALL, CWD and PATH)
Other SYSCALL data: 5 records (SYSCALL, EXECVE, CWD, PATH and PATH)
Other Types (LOGIN): 1 record (LOGIN)

There is a list record types but it does not explain which records relate to which events. I believe that the records always appear in the same order within the event though.

If there was consistency in the events and records (if that is required), how could the processing be sped up?
