Hi to everyone,

I'm fairly new to elk and all its beats.

Anyway I have a strong necessity to know when an http requests I'm monitoring has been cancelled by the client(obviously if that happens before transaction\_timeout).

Would it be possible to do that?

Thank you in advance and sorry if what I'm asking is a stupid question 😃
