Hi, I have mySQL and apache inside containers, I was wandering if I can monitor them? if that is true, I just have to enable Apache and mySql modules, or do I need some other configurations? ---

Hi, yes this is possible using the `apache` and `mysql` modules. However, you might want to look into using Metricbeat's autodiscover feature to automatically discover these containers and start monitoring them with their respective modules: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html).
