> @ottobackwards maybe that can be a follow on, it would be much better to
load from disk -> split lines than to open an editor and cut and past from your
sample log.
Yep, agreed. It could just be a general purpose function that reads the
contents of a file into a String. (Assuming we don't already have something
like that.)
> Create a Parser Debugger

> Key: METRON-1874
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1874
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Nick Allen
> Assignee: Nick Allen
> Priority: Major
>
> Users need a way to test their parser configurations in a controlled
> environment. This would allow a user to tweak and test the parser
> configuration before deploying it into a live Metron cluster. The user could
> also use the REPL to understand why a particular message failed to parse
> correctly.
> This could follow the pattern of the [Profiler
> Debugger|https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/metron-analytics/metron-profiler#creating-profiles]
> and [Threat Triage
> Simulator|https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/metron-platform/metron-management#simulate-threat-triage-rules].
> This allows a user to apply canned messages against a configuration and
> inspect the output, all within the REPL.
