- Packetbeat is missing long running transactions
- Packetbeat isn’t capturing MySQL performance data
- Packetbeat uses too much bandwidth
- Error loading config file
- Found unexpected or unknown characters
- Logstash connection doesn’t work
- Publishing to Logstash fails with "connection reset by peer" message
- @metadata is missing in Logstash
- Not sure whether to use Logstash or Beats
- SSL client fails to connect to Logstash
- Monitoring UI shows fewer Beats than expected

These fields contain data about the transaction itself.
-
status
-
The high level status of the transaction. The way to compute this value depends on the protocol, but the result has a meaning independent of the protocol.
required: True
-
method
-
The command/verb/method of the transaction. For HTTP, this is the method name (GET, POST, PUT, and so on), for SQL this is the verb (SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and so on).
-
resource
-
The logical resource that this transaction refers to. For HTTP, this is the URL path up to the last slash (/). For example, if the URL is
/users/1
, the resource is/users
. For databases, the resource is typically the table name. The field is not filled for all transaction types. -
path
-
The path the transaction refers to. For HTTP, this is the URL. For SQL databases, this is the table name. For key-value stores, this is the key.
required: True
-
query
-
The query in a human readable format. For HTTP, it will typically be something like
GET /users/_search?name=test
. For MySQL, it is something likeSELECT id from users where name=test
.type: keyword
-
params
-
The request parameters. For HTTP, these are the POST or GET parameters. For Thrift-RPC, these are the parameters from the request.
