It seems to me a very good idea indeed! Has it been done already? No idea! How could you do it in a useful, general way? You'd need a user-specifyable way of extracting the time from the data - the data might not all come from the same source and so might not be uniformly formatted. Also, if you take a look at the source code there are quite a few calls to time()... Don't know what they're all there for. Anyway, someone more knowledgeable than I is sure to get back to you.
Here's hoping!

I've been exploring it with good results so far. Yet there's one thing. SEC's timestamps lines it reads with the current time. This is excellent for real-time analysis, but for later analysis that's not so hot. Syslog files are timestamped, and I'd like to use these timestamps instead of "$time = time()". Has anybody done this before, and will Pair/PairWithWindow work if I modify the read_line function to extract timestamps from loglines? Or is this a Very Bad Idea for some or other reason?
