Yes of course, Netty has some built-in protocols, HTTP is one of them that we can traced, the others are something like Redis, WebSocket, etc.
But in reality, users usually use a dedicated framework for those protocols, for example, SpringMVC for HTTP, Jedis for Redis, and Netty-SocketIO, all these frameworks are supported by SkyWalking. So there is no such plugin like netty-http-plugin, netty-redis-plugin in SkyWalking repo, because there is no user has this kind of scenario and they didn’t contribute these plugins to the community, if you have this kind of use case, we’re welcome to accept this kind of plugins.
