Description

Would be awesome if URL could get parsed, same style as user agent filter. Fields to extract:

  • protocol
  • host
  • port
  • uri
  • query string
  • list of key / values for each parameters

Same applies if just URI. Since many logs include URLs, it would make visualizations on those very easy. Getting aggregations on host, uri, params would be very handy.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at existing filters like the user agent filter for pattern, implement a URL parser using Ruby's URI module, and add tests.
