Transaction Event Fieldsedit
These fields contain data about the transaction itself.
directionedit
required: True
Indicates whether the transaction is inbound (emitted by server) or outbound (emitted by the client). Values can be in or out. No defaults.
statusedit
required: True
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.
methodedit
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).
resourceedit
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.
pathedit
required: True
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.
queryedit
type: keyword
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 like SELECT id from users where name=test
.
paramsedit
type: text
The request parameters. For HTTP, these are the POST or GET parameters. For Thrift-RPC, these are the parameters from the request.
notesedit
Messages from Packetbeat itself. This field usually contains error messages for interpreting the raw data. This information can be helpful for troubleshooting.
