Is it possible to configure packetbeat to monitor the response time of traffic that is being transmitted over tcp or udp, no matter what the layer 7 protocol is? For example, I have an application that transmits data over TCP/5001. I don't really care about the payload of the conversation, but i do care about whether and how fast packets are being delivered.

no one??? I would have thought this particular use case my be attractive to those who use commercial solutions from Riverbed (Netshark) or CA Technologies (Application Delivery Analysis)

This is currently not supported by packetbeat. Feel free to open [an enhancement request](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues).
