MOnitoring mysql & http traffic in Packetbeat dashboards

Hey guys, I cannot seem to monitor MySQL and http traffic using packetbeat dashboards despite opening the ports on client machines. someone kindly advise me on what to do.

Can you share your Packetbeat config and logs? Where is Packetbeat running? On a machine that makes mysql and http requests? Or is it on the myqsl or http server?

Sure, here's my packetbeat configuration

options. The packetbeat.full.yml file from the same directory contains all the

supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.
