We are capturing the amqp traffic in packetbeat. Is there a way to fetch the data present in this packetbeat to verify that it is the amqp message itself.  
Below is the data getting captured.

Hi,

What you are pasting is [a flow](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/configuration-flows.html) (see `packetbeat.flows` in `packetbeat.yml`).

For monitoring AMQP traffic you need to enable the [amqp transaction protocol](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/packetbeat-amqp-options.html) and configure it with the port that AMQP uses in your network.
