I use SEC for log analysis and I identify query logs by looking for
the duration entry in the first line. Then pull the triplet of:

   hostname, pid and log line id (the 5 in [5-2], [5-3] etc.)

and find all the rest of the lines by matching that triplet.

Just for reference I use:

  '%t %u@%d(%p): '
