I spun this up, changed the config, restarted the UI and had a couple
comments.
1. Every time you log in, it keeps adding new source.type fields in the
table. Unselecting these in the options doesn't work properly (only the top one
toggles no matter which I click on). Possibly doubles every time?
2. The filters on the left still say "source:type", even after the config
is changed.
3. The group by still says "source:type", even after the config is changed.
This grouping still works fine (which I would expect if it's still grouping on
source:type).
I would expect both the filter and group by to act on the configured
`source.type.field` by default. Otherwise, the user has to know what's going
on and change it manually.
I'd also like to add a bit in the documentation that updating the
`source.type.field` requires a UI restart. This is pretty typical of the UI,
but most global config things get picked up automagically (e.g. topology
changes and such), so a quick blurb would be nice.
