Hi,

I tried the search function but couldn't find anything.

Perhaps I overlooked some configuration, but is it possible with Packetbeat to monitor the MegaByte per second and Mbit per second of a network interface?

Thanks

Hi, @Kevin_Csuka  
Packetbeat doesn't provide such feature, and Packetbeat intend to monitor the protocols inside the wire data, if you want to monitor the performance of the network, i think you can try to use Metricbeat, what you think?

Right, raw stats from OS are normally handled by metricbeat. See [network metrics](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-network.html).

Metric beat is only available for the Alpha version. If possible, I want the metrics in an ELK Production environment.  
Is it not possible with any beat version 1.x?
