Flows detected on thrift port but no thrift protocol events generated

I have configure packetbeat to process thrift-RPC on port 1463 and even though the network flow monitoring shows traffic on that port. no thrift-RPC events are generated.

packetbeat.protocols.thrift:
  ports: [1463]
  transport_type: socket
  protocol_type: binary
  enabled: true

output.console:
  enabled: true
  pretty: true

Flow event in output:

  "beat": {

}

python script that send that message creates that connection as follows:

socket = TSocket.TSocket(host=host, port=port)
transport = TTransport.TFramedTransport(socket)
protocol = TBinaryProtocol.TBinaryProtocol(trans=transport, strictRead=False, strictWrite=False)

Was using the wrong transport. Should have paid more attention. framed worked.
