Some suggestions for improvement

Hi there,

thanks for the plugin, I extended some base functionality - unfortunately I can not share as I also added functionality proprietary to our business, but you could consider the following:

• Allow customisation / templating of Jira issue title - in our case we extract exception messages and inject it into the Jira issue title
• Allow customisation / templating of Jira description - in our case we use [PLACE_HOLDER] variables for the message and also place-holders for the LastMessage fields
• Include logging the LastMessage of the stream alert (then you will be able to extract custom fields etc)
• Avoid logging of duplicate Jira issues. I just implemented this generating the MD5 of the log-message (without the date) and then embed the M5 within the Jira issue's description. Before logging a new Jira task I do a JQL query on the project and check if the same issue already exists (and then skip the logging of it).

I didn't want to wait for a release / fix and redid the plugin - https://github.com/magicdude4eva/graylog-jira-alarmcallback
