Description

I want to create an HTTP input via curl to automate the setup of the graylog server.

System/inputs GET returns a structure with a property `attributes` for an input.
System/inputs POST however expects a property `configuration`.

I would expect to be able to use the structure returned by GET as a sample to create an input mechanically. I had to rename `attributes` to `configuration`. The input was created ok.

This is confusing. A REST resource should look the same for POST and GET.
