community repository for VRL scripts

[sonnens]

there's a bunch of scripts scattered around the internet for coercing log data in to various useful formats ( OCSF , ECS , etc )

Here's one example : https://github.com/crowdalert/ocsf-vrl ( this one is from us )

Another: https://github.com/matanolabs/matano/tree/main/data/managed/log_sources

It would be great to have a central repository in the vectordotdev org to contribute these to so the community can use & share instead of duplicating work

Thank you, this is an excellent idea. It needs a bit of thought on how to semi-standardize this so that the repo is easily searchable. This can be a big enhancement in the VRL playground as well. Imagine something like the https://go.dev/play/ but with VRL source loaded from this community repo.

Let me know if ya want help if there's a push to load community VRL into the playground!

Would be happy to do more playground work 😊

That's awesome, thanks!

If it helps you get inspired, we can do this in multiple phases:

1. Static examples selector (like in the go playground)
2. Once the repo is up and running, we can see how to integrate with the VRL playground

(1) is easier and not blocked by (2)
