Packetbeat

Packetbeat is part of the Elastic Beats family and captures network traffic for monitoring and analysis. It decodes application-level protocols such as HTTP, DNS, MySQL, and Redis, transforming network events into structured data. Packetbeat forwards the data to Elasticsearch or Logstash, enabling visualization in Kibana. It allows security and performance monitoring teams to detect anomalies, measure latency, and troubleshoot application issues. Packetbeat can operate in real time and integrates seamlessly with the Elastic Stack.
