I tried to use Packetbeat for network monitoring and have problems. I followed the recommended configuration on the official site, but when you run: > ok@ok-VirtualBox1:~/Desktop/packetbeat$ packetbeat -e -c packetbeat.yml -d "\*" The result shown in console is: > ........ > 2016/03/10 15:44:26.637344 packetbeat.go:244: DBG Waiting for the sniffer to finish > 2016/03/10 15:44:27.138116 sniffer.go:297: DBG Interrupted > 2016/03/10 15:44:27.638974 sniffer.go:297: DBG Interrupted > 2016/03/10 15:44:28.139709 sniffer.go:297: DBG Interrupted > 2016/03/10 15:44:28.640423 sniffer.go:297: DBG Interrupted Please any idea how to resolve???? thanks ---

- Can you share your config file? - Which OS are you running on? - What network interfaces do you have enabled? ---

That's just normal debug output. Once you have Packetbeat started, try running a `nslookup google.com` to generate some traffic. Make sure you are running packetbeat as root so that it can capture in promiscuous mode. And if none of that works, instead of using the `any` interface call out a specific interface like `eth0`. ---

Thank Andrew, but the real problem I had was I'm running pacetbeat within a docker container and can not see traffic. I imagine it has to do with how I share the resources between the container and the local pc. Best regards ---

If you are running Packetbeat inside a container then I would _think_ you would need to start that container with `docker run --net=host` and then configure `device: docker0`. The `--net=host` part makes it possible to sniff the traffic from other containers. ---
