Hey,

I'd like to use the grokdebuggerof the devtools via an api-endpoint.  
Unfortunally I can't find any documentation of this, is this tool even available via the rest-api?

Hi @justin_sch,

I'm not aware of a way to use the Grok Debugger aside from [via Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-grokdebugger.html). So I'm not sure it's available via a public REST API.

What's the point of Grok APIs?  
You have also online version [Test grok patterns](https://grokconstructor.appspot.com/do/match)

I'm currently developing an application that can create grok patterns with large language models and it would be perfect to test these patterns automatically via an api.

There is ES [ingestion grok](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/grok-processor.html), maybe you can try it or investigate what Kibana use in the background for Grok Debugger.
