Sean Whalen 1c234de9ff Expand README references with the sources used
Add the remaining official Google docs the parser is built on (parser tips
& troubleshooting, manage parsers, UDM search, Bindplane install) and a
clearly-separated "Additional sources and tooling" section for the community
resources that drove the JSON type-handling and field-init fixes
(thatsiemguy's Parsing 101, the Corelight production parser, chronicle/cbn-tool).

A screenshot of DMARC summary charts in Kibana

parsedmarc is a Python module and CLI utility for parsing DMARC reports. When used with Elasticsearch and Kibana (or Splunk), it works as a self-hosted open-source alternative to commercial DMARC report processing services such as Agari Brand Protection, Dmarcian, OnDMARC, ProofPoint Email Fraud Defense, and Valimail.

Note

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is an email authentication protocol.
