I am trying to capture TLS and https traffic using Packetbeat. The problem I am currently facing is when I try Packetbeat with elasticsearch on the local machine it reports the exact amount of traffic data while on a server it does not work accurately. **Does Pcketbeat support tls, https and SSL traffic?**
