Protocol for ISO messages

has anyone started work on an a parser for ISO messages, more specifically ISO8583 ? im interested to use packetBeat for realtime transaction statistics and monitoring, just didn't want to re-invent the wheel if its already been done.

Hi,

I'm not aware of anyone implementing this protocol. See requested protocols on github.

See code generator for packetbeat TCP based protocols. The code generator implements most boilerplate, thus in most cases only parser needs to be implemented. Plus add desired fields to the output event.

Maybe you can re-use the parser from one of go-libraries with ISO8583 support.

No idea how relevant this is, but some notes from wireshark wiki: https://wiki.wireshark.org/ISO8583-1

thanks steffen,

those do seem to help a bit, do you know of any specific references for re-compiling packetbeat after adding a new protocol. under the dev guide https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/new-protocol.html there dosnt seem to be much on compiling changes

when adding your protocol directory to packetbeat just run make from packetbeat directory. Or use go build. Try to follow the Readme from the generator, as the doc as a little outdated.
