Hi, I see that packetbeat can log mysql query with performance data but not user name. It's not good because I want to use packetbeat for audit purpose. Can you tell me if packetbeat can log username along with the query ? ---

It does not capture the authentication messages so it does not know the active user for the connection making the queries. ---

So, I can not use this information for audit purpose ☹ ---
