Since this is a new event, do you mind moving the tty field to be between 
auid= and ses=  ?   That is the more natural place for it. 

Also, it might be more natural for the op= and cause= fields to be before the 
pid= portion. This doesn't matter as much to me because those are not 
searchable fields and they are skipped right over. But moving the tty field 
is the main comment from me.

Thanks,
