Not sure which beat is relevant in this case but what I want to do is, I have a use case where I need to listen to the routers data so that I can visualize the data (Requests) from different machines connected to my router. ---

I'm not sure what kind of data you want to monitor, but basically you can do two things: - Monitor the network with Packetbeat - Configure your router to send logs to filebeat using syslog input. ---
