I'm using packetbeat for monitoring and I'm using ubuntu as an operating system.
I configured everything and the port for MySQL is 3306. I'm getting the dashboards in kibana, but if I start using MySQL I'm not getting anything in Packetbeat. It is unable to trace.
[interfaces]
#Select on which network interfaces to sniff. You can use the "any"
# keyword to sniff on all connected interfaces.
device = "any"
[protocols]
#Configure which protocols to monitor and on which ports are they
#running. You can disable a given protocol by commenting out its
#configuration.
[protocols.http]
ports = [80, 8080, 8000, 5000, 8002]
[protocols.mysql]
ports = [3306]
[protocols.pgsql]
ports = [5432]
#[protocols.redis]
#ports = [6379]
MySQL will attempt to connect via UNIX socket if using "localhost" (see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connecting.html). But if you specify the IP (probably 127.0.0.1) it will connect via TCP instead, allowing Packetbeat to sniff that connection.
