You wont be able to match the text in the encrypted payload with a rule. If you could that would defeat the whole 
purpose of encryption right? ☺

I think you should take a look at the manual and the basics of rule writing. This will give you a starting point for 
understanding what you can and cannot do with them.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Lewis, the grep appMapping.data does helps. I am trying to create some complete rules, i find some of the 
rules/openaapID use http pattern to detect user access, but like google hangouts: http://www.google.com/hangouts/, but 
when user use Google Hangouts, they usually use it inside the gmail web page, or some client ends. But the message text 
or hangouts call are encrypted by SSL, https, how can i catch the traffic from hangouts?

There are a bunch of app detectors in the openappID tool for google (Hangouts is one of them) : I have listed them 
below. You can check out/download openapp here: https://www.snort.org/downloads
