The path to realtime_adddir was splintered based on whether we were compiling on Windows or a system with Inotify. This patches makes all the logic for realtime_adddir() in the the read_dir() function which create_db() calls. This is just to simplify the code a bit. It does not change how the code functions.
If you want to intercept FIM events and run them through a verification process of some kind, you may want to set the filename based on another incoming event. This patch allows the author of a decoder to set the filename attribute of the event for handing to active response or writing out to syslog or json.
We already have parsed these elements and used them in the rules, so why not pass them along to JSON consumers. This gives users more flexibility to analyze their alerts in a system like ElasticSearch without having to reparse or remap this data. This will hopefully deduplicate slower Logstash type configs.

"A few fixes, but most importantly the ability to set the filename attribute from a decoder. This will help create automated pipelines for FIM Verification. I currently need to compare FIM events against 1) Puppet, 2) GIT, and 3) RPM. This patch allows FIM events to be intercepted by my custom FIM Verification script, which generates logging events which OSSEC can read and turn back into an event with the filename attribute set."
