Capture ICMP traffic

A newer version is available. Check out the latest documentation.

The icmp section of the packetbeat.yml config file specifies options for the ICMP protocol. Here is a sample configuration section for ICMP:

packetbeat.protocols:

- type: icmp
  enabled: true

The ICMP protocol can be enabled/disabled via this option. The default is true.

If enabled Packetbeat will generate the following BPF filter: "icmp or icmp6".
