Modify default widget behaviour

Widgets are implemented directly in the core of Surikata.io platform. However, if you are a plugin programmer, you can create callbacks on various events dispatched by the widget. E.g. the the Customer widget exposes the onCustomerDetailSidebarButtons event in which you can extend the detail view of a customer. Refer to the documentation of each widget for the list of their events.

Create your own widget

All widgets are located in the src/Widgets/ folder. If you want to create a new widget, you should have enough knowledge in ADIOS framework programming. This would also expect modification of the core which is the most critical part of contribution. However feel free to do that and let us know your success.
