Lookup File Editor: Have there been any ideas for the same concept, but editing configuration files from UI?

The lookup editor is a great app for modifying lookup files!

There are so many things that can come from this app.

Has there been any ideas for the same concept, but for editing configuration files in the UI?

This would be awesome so that admin roles can just edit conf on the fly without going into the filesystem..

Hi ben_leung,

I did write exactly such an App for a costumer, but the costumer denied it to be published 😞

cheers, MuS

I can see how this could be a security risk........

agreed, that's why it is limited to exactly one app and certain key / value pairs in this local/foo.conf file ! Last to say, I used only Splunk features to create this editor.
