Are you doing NSEL (or, at least, compiled with with --enable-nsel)?  I think 
those fields are only used for NSEL flows - such as those generated by a Cisco 
ASA.

The 'Event' column records things like 'CREATE' and 'DELETE' when flows are set 
up and removed on an ASA.  For regular flows (such as the ones we get from our 
Catalysts) we get the same 'INVALID' and 'Ignore' values, just as you do.

[In our case, we only use our ASA for NAT and so the NSEL flows also have X-Src 
and X-Dst to log the translated addresses.]

I must admit I'm not sure what the X-Event column means - in our case, it only 
shows up with a number around 2000 when a flow is DELETEd.  The value doesn't 
match the translation rule on the ASA.

Hope that helps,

  - Bob
