Hi,

Is it possible to use amqp protocol and dump the logs to elasticsearch using packetbeat

Packetbeat supports the AMQP protocol, so I think it should work, yes.

I have included the following line in packet beat configuration

```
interfaces:
  device: any
protcolos:
  amqp:
    ports: [5672] 

```

When i send the message to amqp. I, can't see any events been published in the debug logs apart from these

```
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG Packet number: 17743
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG decode packet data
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG IPv4 packet
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG TCP packet
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG Ignore empty non-FIN packet
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG Packet number: 17744
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG decode packet data
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG IPv4 packet
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG TCP packet
2016-04-20T17:08:19+05:30 DBG Ignore empty non-FIN packet

```

But, on running the command , i can see the logs being dumped on my console of the actual packet being transferred  
`tcpflow -i any -c port 5672`

Could you please guide me on this ? I am using the wrong configuration

Sorry, should have mentioned, the AMQP support was added pretty [recently](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/768) so it's only in 5.0.0-alpha1. Can you try that version, please?

Thanks for pointing me to the right version. I could see the amqp events being pushed to elasticsearch. But, responseTime is being populated as 0. I have auto ack enabled in mq. Do you think this could be a configuration issue from our side in rabbit mq.
