We are planning to use Elastic agent and fleet in one of the workflows. So, are there any possibilities that elastic agent and fleet may include more beats like a packetbeat in future releases? OR what's the road map of this feature?

Hi @spzala Welcome to the community.

Elastic Agent will continue to be evolve and new capabilities will be added including more beats functionality, there is a lot of investment in agent.

As to specific features roadmap and dates we do not publicly share those ahead of time.

It does look like packetbeat is on the roadmap, but I can not provide an ETA.
