I am using packetbeat for monitoring servers, and I want to listen to the db-servers like oracle, mssql server and so. Does it support listening to them as well? I'd mentioned **oracle** under **protocol** and port no **1521** but it is not listening.

The docs contain all of that information - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/configuration-protocols.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/configuration-protocols.html)

Hi,

**Is value "any" for "device" under interfaces is application on windows?**

```
interfaces:
  # On which device to sniff
  device: any

```

No just for linux. See [`device`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/configuration-interfaces.html#_device) docs, it says.

> On Linux, you can specify `any` for the device...

On Windows, use `packetbeat.exe -devices` to get a list of devices. Then use the interface index in your config.

```auto
interfaces:
  device: 0

```
