Hi there,

I have the following use-case: Capture and parse HTTP(S) POST request information from Apache web servers. An [Apache module (mod\_dumpio)](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dumpio.html) is able to do the job.

However, the mod\_dumpio module gives tons of information (rightfully so, given the verbosity of the log level which it is set to).

2 questions:

1. Are there any plans to support output from the Apache mod\_dumpio module? (Highly unlikely I understand, given that few others would have such a use-case outside I believe)
2. If there are any suggestions on another way of fulfilling my use case (besides libapache2-mod-security2)?

Thank you for your time!

We may consider adding it as Elastic integration to the [Integrations](https://github.com/elastic/integrations) repository. Could you please open an issue there describing the idea?

You can also open a PR and implement this integration 🙂
