Hi,  
I've searched around a good bit and I don't see any support for AVRO ([http://avro.apache.org/](http://avro.apache.org/)).  
Does anyone know if there's any active work on adding AVRO support?

If not I'm willing to work on it.

Cheers,  
darren

As far as I know, no one is currently working on AVRO. Best would be to open an issue directly in Packetbeat with the AVRO protocol like the other protocols here: [https://github.com/elastic/packetbeat/labels/new%20protocol](https://github.com/elastic/packetbeat/labels/new%20protocol)

@darren_m Thanks. I suggest as soon as you start working on it, mention it in the issue so other are also aware of it.
