I am trying to capture my network interface card traffic on my local machine. But Packetbeat is not capturing all packets. This is the error I am getting. > {"monitoring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":5930,"time":{"ms":106}},"total":{"ticks":20380,"time":{"ms":975},"value":20380},"user":{"ticks":14450,"time":{"ms":869}}},"handles":{"limit":{"hard":4096,"soft":1024},"open":7},"info":{"ephemeral\_id":"198546a3-7f34-44f5-894f-35e5ef7d7906","uptime":{"ms":780013}},"memstats":{"gc\_next":37483840,"memory\_alloc":21347792,"memory\_total":765037000},"runtime":{"goroutines":38}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":0}},"output":{"events":{"acked":463,"batches":15,"total":463},"read":{"bytes":7975},"write":{"bytes":428794}},"pipeline":{"clients":14,"events":{"active":0,"published":463,"total":463},"queue":{"acked":463}}},"system":{"load":{"1":2.17,"15":2.24,"5":2.9,"norm":{"1":0.5425,"15":0.56,"5":0.725}}},"tcp":{"dropped\_because\_of\_gaps":60}}}} How can I fix this error?? ---
