[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-1010) BroControl plugin for adding environment variables

[Robin Sommer (JIRA)]

Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1010:
-----------------------------------

Right that's why I was wondering if {{env:VAR1=1}} would work: i.e., the key would be {{env:VAR1}} hoping the parsers splits simply at the {{=}} and accepts the colon as part of the key. 

But not worth  discussing further, please file a merge request once ready.

> We should have the ability to add environment variables to Bro at start up time.  The option should be available globally in broctl.cfg and per-node in node.cfg.  The environments variables should be applied to the process with priority based on how specific the variable is applied (per-node variables defined after global variables so that the per-node variable is used).
> As a name suggestion for the configuration option: env_vars (same name in node.cfg and broctl.cfg).
