Hi, is there any plan to support FTP protocol in a not too distant future?
Best regards
Hi, we don't have plans for FTP for now. I opened an issue here to track it, but don't expect it too soon. But we can help you to do add support if you are interested.
Hi,
I would love to implement it but I have a very very limited knowledge of the Go language which makes it slightly difficult. But if there is an in-depth tutorial on how to create a beat for a new protocol, I'm up for the challenge. Can you point out some tutorials/webpages to get me started?
Best regards

We're just working on an easy to follow guide. Should have it in 2-3 weeks.
Looking forward to it 
Thanks for the info.
Starting with beta3 release, we have a developer guide about how to add a new protocol in Packetbeat: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/_developer_guide_adding_a_new_protocol.html
It would be great if you could add support for FTP. Let us know if you need any help!
