Description

Presently, the PCAP sensor needs to be started from the command like from $METRON_HOME/bin/start_pcap_topology.sh, unlike the other parsers which use a different startup script.

PCAP sensor needs to have its own startup and service monitoring scripts, similar to the other parsers. It needs to be able to be started/stopped from Ambari and the Management UI like the other parsers.

IMHO, the stock startup status of the PCAP sensor on full-dev environment should be set to 'Stopped' state, since keeping it turned ON would only burden (the already burdened) full-dev deployment further. This point is however open for discussion.
