If a transaction took longer our goal is to find out which step caused the slowness. Thanks to APM and RUM we have a good view of DB and http requests in the timeline view but it does not show any network related information. The image below is an example where I know the network was slow and the timeline view does show the total time the request spent on the network but it does give a breakdown of information. So is it possible to merge network data collected from packetbeat with the APM transaction data? I know its kind of merging two different sets of data together but I wanted to see if there is a possibility that this could be done. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/b/8bb0ea55c29af693135742f4e03bc913ce608a72.png) ---
