Hello.

I want to catch the 'x-custom' header in logstash from packetbeat. In configuration I have "send\_headers" key, bit it is not working for response.

```
http:
    ...
    # send_all_headers: true # with this option I can see all headers, but I don't need them all
    send_headers: ["x-custom"] # this doesn't work
```

`send_headers` should work for both response and request. What version of Packetbeat are you using? I have tried the latest Packetbeat version and it works just fine for me. Can you please make sure the HTTP request contains such a header? Thanks!

I have version 1.3.1. And yes, I can see the header in the response if send\_all\_headers option is on.  
Ok, if this option should work with a both way, I'll try to test it again.
