Can I collect network traffic for my app using Perfetto?

I'd like to save various traces, or metrics. The reason for this is to compare performance per each versions of my application.

I want to use Perfetto command line tool to collect metrics and convert them into json format and upload to my DB.

I can find cpu,mem and power metrics on Perfetto, but I cannot find network metric.

FYI, In case of Android studio. As shown in the following picture, I can capture network metric from my application.

    There is no network information in traces yet. Android studio likely takes that from something != trace (by polling at some /proc counter perhaps).

    Nothing planned too soon on this front, so closing this.
