Packetbeat is the Open Source solution for monitoring Distributed Applications. Think of it like a distributed real-time Wireshark with a lot more analytics features. Packetbeat agents sniff the traffic between your application processes, parse on the fly protocols like HTTP, MySQL, Postgresql, Redis or Thrift and correlate the messages into transactions.
