Hello,

I was asked to measure how much data we send from Beats to Logstash over 24h period. Are such statistics available somewhere in Beats or Logstash? I can't install anything on a computer where Beats is installed so I was trying to use some linux based tools like iptables on logstash node but I'm having a hard time pulling this specific piece of information.  
Thanks in advance!
