Packetbeat plugin is not working

Hi Guys,

Somehow my packetbeat plugin is not working which is installed on my DNS server and is forced to capture DNS packets

How Can I troubleshoot further?

packetbeat.interfaces.device: eth0
packetbeat.flows:

Set network flow timeout. Flow is killed if no packet is received before being

timed out.

timeout: 30s

Configure reporting period. If set to -1, only killed flows will be reported

period: 10s

packetbeat.protocols.dns:

Configure the ports where to listen for DNS traffic. You can disable

the DNS protocol by commenting out the list of ports.

ports: [53]

packetbeat.sh -e -d "publish"

In what way is it not working? It appears to be capturing DNS packets...?
