Shane Ardell updated METRON-1856:
---------------------------------
Description:
The capability to group parsers via the CLI already exists in Metron, but it
currently is not possible to do so through the Management UI. This feature
seems important as it allows users to pass in groups of parsers to start, stop,
disable and enable rather than enacting the action on each individual parser.
An initial implementation of the UI was done by Tamás Fodor, Tibor Meller and
myself (@ruffle1986, @tiborm and @sardell on GitHub, respectively), and the
REST endpoint work was performed by Ryan Merriman in PR 1396:
[https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1396].
Here is a brief description of the UI changes.
In order to create a parser group, simply drag and drop two parsers together. A
user can optionally update the name and add a description before creating the
group. Notice that once a group is created, the parser group is highlighted in
green and the parsers moved inside of a group are highlighted in yellow.
!create-parser-group.gif|width=601,height=330!
Once a user has created the parser groups they want, they can simply click on
the apply button at the bottom of the screen. You'll notice the highlighting
colors go away, a success message appears and controls for all the parsers in
the group are available at the group level (in this case the start button).
!save-parser-group.gif|width=601,height=330!
If a user wants to delete a group, they can simply click on the trash can icon
in the group's controls section. We chose to keep the confirmation popup in
addition to the apply button in order to prevent accidental group deletions and
prevent sending multiple http delete calls one after the other to the backend.
If a user decides not to delete a group after confirming with the modal window,
they can click on the discard button to return to the previous state.
