Currently we don't have support for RDS in Packetbeat. There was a discussion about it [here](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/90). Please open a new feature request under [GitHub issues](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues), so we can easily monitor. ---

If you don't have encryption, Packetbeat should be able already to sniff the database traffic for the protocols that we support: MySQL and PostgresSQL. ---
