Looking for ICMP in Stream?

Trying to see if I can get ICMP in Stream. Any suggestions? Don't want to go the pdml parser route if I can tease it out of already installed Stream app.

ICMP is not currently supported by stream; however, it is on our list of protocols to add for a future release.

It's a good point, AzJimbo. I'm the new Product Manager for Stream, and I appreciate your feedback!

I'll take a look at the backlog and see if we can prioritize ICMP in an upcoming Stream release.

Thanks!

Sooooo..... it's been a couple of years; but I still don't see ICMP in the Stream App? I'm currently running nfdump just so I can get the ICMP, but would much rather use just the Stream app. Looking to detect and alert on icmp tunneling, a method to stealthy exfil data out of a compromised network.
