I spent some time using Packetbeat, great tool, but I need to dig into nfs filehandles and metadata in the ops that I just can't get in the packetbeat dump.

I found this [post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/analyzing-network-packets-with-wireshark-elasticsearch-and-kibana), which is everything I could hope for except my initial import hit the 1000 fields limit.

I see the Put example, but I am struggling at connecting the dots on how to curl that into ES at a template, or how to generate my own template other than doing a dump of the data source and grepping out what might be good things to look for.

Thoughts please ! This platform has amazing potential, dying to see what I can do with all my network pcap data in ES.

That PUT is intended to be entered using the [Console](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/console-kibana.html) in Kibana.
