Second parsing step has been removed

· One min read

For years, Spider has been able to parse a second time TCP sessions

  • For which Packets, TCP sessions and Parsing log was saved in Elasticsearch
  • For which some Packets have been missing when parsing

I've decided to remove this feature as:

  • Most often Packets and Tcp sessions are not saved anymore
  • Streaming parsing quality is now excellent
  • It was one useless service flying around in the cluster

This parsing step has then been removed from the deployed cluster, the configuration and documentation!
