There is an example plugin in the source distribution. You can see it here:

https://fedorahosted.org/audit/browser/trunk/contrib/plugin

The plugin provides a code skeleton and demonstration of how to move around 
the events / records / fields. Other examples would be the prelude-plugin and 
aulast utility.
