Hi all,

I'm using packetbeat and building visualizations based on network data.

I'm trying to see top applications usage across network.

I'm not getting any data regarding this.

Any solution for this.

Thanks in advance

Packetbeat doesn't really track application information like this. You will want to use Metricbeat.
