Hi Varsha,

Could you enhance this patch in a way that things work like the
following:

#1 nft monitor

This prints all events, both nftrace and nftables.

#2 nft monitor trace

This prints only trace events.

#3 nft monitor ruleset

This prints only ruleset events.

for #3, you have to extend the bison parser I think, it should be not
too complicated.

I think there must be a way to make this more readable, as well as
make it work in the way I propose above.

Thanks!
