Add "external lookup" option to manually annotate unknown endpoints #1

Open chrisrohr opened 1 year ago

chrisrohr commented 1 year ago

This "external lookup" option would allow us to specify what an "unknown" endpoint actually is and then it can be labeled that way in a UI. For example, suppose we have an external interface (e.g. a JMS queue) that we consume from a third-party system. Since there is no corresponding outbound event, we will (by default) label this as "Unknown". This would be a way for us to have an "external system lookup" reference table to label connection events at the point they are requested from a client/UI/etc.

Similarly, it would be nice to do the same for outgoing requests to external systems that we don't control.
