Adding testing facility

[ChristianKniep]

Hey Blake,

not that I found time, but I found an icreasing urge to revisit (#3) this topic. :) I would like to draft a small tool that helps to distribute logstash. The idea was incubated during a conference: http://qnib.org/2015/05/09/neic2015-distributed-logstash/

Anyway, to do so I would like to mimic what I just published here: https://github.com/qnib/grok-patterns

I would like to create a facility that allows me to put patterns next to a established microservice, add a small tool that helps makeing sense out of the logs generated by the service and afterwards push them to the messaging facility.

I would like to enrich your stuff with a testing tool, for which one defines checks in YAML (or similar).

Maybe I should create a repository soley for the patterns and tests thereof and a separat repository for the testing tool which uses your library... Hmm...

What do you thing?
