- A new ``conn_generic_packet_threshold_crossed`` event was introduced. The event triggers
for any IP-based session that reaches a given threshold. Multiple packet thresholds can
be defined in ``ConnThreshold::generic_packet_thresholds``. The generic thresholds refer
to the total number of packets on a connection without taking direction into account
(i.e. the event also triggers on one-sided connections).
The event is intended as an alternative to the ``new_connection`` event that allows for
ignoring short-lived connections like DNS or scans. For example, it can be used to set
up traditional connection monitoring without introducing overhead for connections that
would never reach a larger threshold anyway.
