<desc>
<p>Transforms trace data and makes an event record out of it.</p>
<p>See erlang:trace/3 for more info about the semantics of
the trace data.</p>
<p>An event record consists of the following fields:
detail_level - Noise has a high level as opposed to essentials.
trace_ts - Time when the trace was generated.
Same as event_ts if omitted in trace data.
event_ts - Time when the event record was created.
from - From actor, such as sender of a message.
to - To actor, such as receiver of message.
label - Label intended to provide a brief event summary.
contents - All nitty gritty details of the event.</p>
<p>See et:phone_home/4 and et:phone_home/5 for details.</p>
<p>Returns:
{true, Event} - where Event is an #event{} record representing the
trace data
true - means that the trace data already is an event
record and that it is valid as it is.
No transformation is needed.
false - means that the trace data is uninteresting and
should be dropped</p>
