------------------------------------

             Summary: Create extension point for parser configuration user 
interface
                 Key: METRON-825
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-825
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Ryan Merriman
            Assignee: Ryan Merriman


METRON-623 introduces a new user interface for configuring parsers.  Many 
common parser configuration tasks are covered but some parser can benefit from 
a custom editor made specifically for that parser.  The GrokParser is a good 
example of this:  a special Grok statement editor is included that only applies 
to that parser.

New parsers could also benefit from having a custom editor.  There should be a 
way for contributors to bundle a custom editor in addition to custom parser 
classes.  This extension point should be well defined and documented (with 
examples) and not require detailed knowledge of the whole management UI 
architecture.

I suspect the outcome of METRON-258 will also influence this design.
