Hi, Is there a roadmap or plan to develop a beat for data storage performance analysis? PacketBeat is for network analysis and a similar solution for data storage metrics will definately make sense. I have used Elastisearch and also developed an experimental program to parse sflow packets and processing in elastisearch. I have been involved in software development in the data storage domain and thus I am very excited to start developing a beat for storage metrics. -Sourish ---

I don't think we are working on this right now. But having a beat on data storage usage, performance metrics would be pretty awesome!!! Feel free to ask if you need any help. ---
