Is it possible to see HTTP POST data from requests in Packetbeat?

Question

I want to build a dashboard that is based on POST requests containing JSON data that is being sent as part of the request payload.

I added send_request to the Packetbeat configuration but I don't see the data in the index.

Is that possible and how it can be done?

You must also specify the content types of the requests that you wish to include the body for via the include_body_for config setting. For example:

protocols:
  http:
    ports: [80, 8080]
    send_request: true
    include_body_for: ['application/json', 'application/javascript']
