Dear All,  
I am running ELK 8.2.2 on Debian 11 bullseye and installed packetbeat 8.2.2. "packetbeat setup" brings no errors. And

# packetbeat test config

Config OK

# packetbeat test output

elasticsearch: [https://kibana8.home.yer.at:9200](https://kibana8.home.yer.at:9200)...  
parse url... OK  
connection...  
parse host... OK  
dns lookup... OK  
addresses: 192.168.241.9  
dial up... OK  
TLS...  
security: server's certificate chain verification is enabled  
handshake... OK  
TLS version: TLSv1.3  
dial up... OK  
talk to server... OK  
version: 8.2.2

If I look with kibana at packetbeat overview I see no data. Also DNS doesn't show anything, of course it is configured.  
In index management I see data streams and index templates for packetbeat.  
But looking at discover and selecting packetbeat doesn't show any data too.

When I run packetbeat with option -v I see repeated infos like this  
{"log.level":"warn","@timestamp":"2022-06-11T21:47:41.643+0200","log.logger":"elasticsearch","log.origin":{"file.name":"elasticsearch/client.go","file.line":428},"message":"Cannot index event publisher.Event{Content:beat.Event{Timestamp:time.Date(2022, time.June, 11, 21, 47, 40, 583409918, time.Local), .......

Is this maybe a problem of the combination of ELK and OS because on older versions of Debian and ELK I can run packetbeat successfully.
