Integrate the functionality of `seq-import.exe` #3

Closed nblumhardt closed 8 years ago

nblumhardt commented 8 years ago

The functionality in https://github.com/datalust/seq-import would make a useful sub-command of the forwarder, e.g.

seq-forwarder import  -f myapp.json -s https://my-seq --p:user=myappuser1 --p:email=myappuser@email.com

If there is enough alignment, these projects could be merged. Eventually the forwarder will be expected to forward files, so much of the same functionality will have to be developed and maintained here.

Also, since the forwarder supports persistent configuration (the destination server URL and API key) the command above could be shortened:

seq-forwarder import  -f myapp.json --p:user=myappuser1 --p:email=myappuser@email.com

This will be especially handy when an API key has to be specified.
