Thanks for reporting! There have been some changes/fixes done for rc1. Can you check the problem still persists with [the rc1 release](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/packetbeat#preview-release)? If it's resolved with rc1, can you also test with `queue.mem.flush.min_events: 0`, just to be sure? ---

Thank you for reporting in. Which output do you have configured? When not setting `min_events`, does it work for you? Can you open a [bug report](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues)? I'd like to mark the issue for the [Pioneer Program](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-pioneer-program-6-0). ---
