Description

Currently Graylog Pipelines (and maybe some other parts) require complicated manual escaping in regexes.
Even my pattern works perfectly after 10 minutes debug with https://regex101.com/ then I have to spend 20 minutes more trying to guess what exactly Graylog doesn't like in Pipeline configuration window in something like regex_replace.

Suggestion:
make regex engine frontend more user-friendly, in perfect case it must accept already verified patterns as is, without messing with manual escaping
