Hello

Packetbeat can monitor "try connect" http packets.

In example, if try to connect 10.4.3.2 port 80 but remote server is down or service is down, packetbeat not log events.

Is there a way to log and monitor this with packetbeat?

I want to now how many tries to connect to service was.

Thanks

This is currently not possible. This kind of monitoring would occur on the TCP level using flows. The ticket [#3444](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3444) lays out the roadmap for flows support in packetbeat.
