[jira] [Created] (METRON-659) Emulate Sensors in Development Environments

Nick Allen created METRON-659:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Emulate Sensors in Development Environments
                 Key: METRON-659
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-659
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.3.0
            Reporter: Nick Allen
            Assignee: Nick Allen
             Fix For: Next + 1


Replace the Snort, Bro, and YAF sensors on the "Quick Dev" and "Full Dev" environments with a mechanism that consumes less resources.

These environments are notoriously difficult to work with because the installed services consume nearly all available memory.  The Bro, YAF, and Snort sensors, along with the PCAP Replay service, consume a considerable amount of these limited resources.  

Replacing these sensors with a lightweight mechanism should free-up additional resources, make the environment easier to work with, and result in faster deployments.
