Github user simonellistonball commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/711 @ottobackwards agreed, this is very separate from the management ui (won't touch, or be used by anything in the management ui). Also agreed this is a separate entity, but one that will be used by the alerts ui. Honestly, I'm not sure what else this needs to do. If we want to expand the scope, maybe we can do that as a follow on. @nickwallen thinking about it, I'm inclined to agree that the path of least surprise for the soc user is the one to go for here, so you're right. The representation passed should be that shown in the UI. The challenge here is things like meta-alerts, where the actual alert to pass may not be fully present on the ui due to paging on its member alerts. (I can certainly see use cases where a meta-alert might contain O(1000s) of alerts).
