Hi,

I am using packetbeat for network monitoring, in the JSON o/p of http requests I noticed that in the Http sniffing, the fields only contain the json data like -

```
           "method": "GET",
           "params": "",
           "path": "/news/xyzabc",

```

The query (GET /news/xyzbc) and Response time as well as the server IP is provided in the output but I can't find the field **domain name**. Am I missing something here or is it the expected output? As without domain name it would be hard to create graphs in Kibana for showing the sites visited. Thanks.

Hi @tarunsapra,

The domain name is sent in an HTTP request as the "Host" header. So you must enable this in your configuration. See [Domain name missing in Http fields in packetbeat](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/domain-name-missing-in-http-fields-in-packetbeat/31421).

```auto
protocols:
  http:
    ports: [80, 8080, 8000, 5000, 8002]
    send_headers: ["Host"]

```
