Description

Re-work the "vars" object into a top-level "metadata" field that will initially contain flowbits, flowvars, flowints and pktvars. For example:

{
  "metadata": {
    "flowbits": [
      "/traffic/id/facebook",
      "ET.TorIP" 
    ],
    "flowvars": {
      "flow_var0_name": "flow_var0_value",
      "flow_var1_name": "flow_var1_value" 
    },
    "flowints": {
      "flow_int0_name": 0,
      "flow_int1_name": 1
    },
    "pktvars": {
      "pkt_var0_name": "pkt_var0_value",
      "pkt_var1_name": "pkt_var1_value" 
    }
  }
}

Also, unlike the vars object, log this to flow/netflow event types as well. Perhaps all event types?
