Summary: Capture Bro Plugin Enhancements from bro/bro-plugins
Key: METRON-883
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-883
Project: Metron
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nick Allen
Assignee: Nick Allen
There are two versions of the Bro Kafka Plugin. I authored both of these and
contributed one to Metron and the other to Bro itself. The original goal of
doing this was to eventually deprecate the version maintained in Metron, so
that the wider community of Bro could use and support the plugin.
Since this time, Bro has created a plugin management mechanism and is no longer
wanting to host plugins. They are asking individual maintainers to create
their own Github repositories to maintain these plugins. This will require us
to continue to support the Bro Kafka Plugin in Metron.
Additional enhancements have been made to the version in bro/bro-plugins, which
I would like to contribute back to Metron proper, since that is now the version
that will live on.
The enhancements address a potential thread-safety issue and also allows data
from Bro to be directed to separate Kafka topics.
