Hi all, I'm running Packetbeat on an Ubuntu system with Postgres 9.2 and keep seeing the following in syslog: > Jan 13 15:43:24 cat-prod-pg92 /usr/bin/packetbeat[26499]: log.go:113: ParsePgsql exception. Recovering, but please report this: runtime error: slice bounds out of range. > Jan 13 15:43:24 cat-prod-pg92 /usr/bin/packetbeat[26499]: log.go:114: Stacktrace: /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/logp/log.go:114 (0x48c5c6)#012/usr/local/go/src/runtime/asm\_amd64.s:437 (0x47d8fe)#012/usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:423 (0x44d4f9)#012/usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:18 (0x44ba39)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/pgsql/pgsql.go:279 (0x512203)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/pgsql/pgsql.go:610 (0x5146de)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/pgsql/pgsql.go:707 (0x51515d)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/tcp/tcp.go:87 (0x521093)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/protos/tcp/tcp.go:173 (0x5221cd)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/decoder/decoder.go:136 (0x6c8ad1)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/sniffer/sniffer.go:352 (0x5337a9)#012/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/packetbeat/packetbeat.go:212 (0x422f2b)#012/usr/local/go/src/runtime/asm\_amd64.s:1696 (0x47fc41) I've added the `snaplen` setting as per [ParsePgsql exception (slice bounds out of range) · Issue #157 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/157) but this doesn't seem to help. My packetbeat config is as follows: > interfaces: > device: any > snaplen: 65535 > protocols: > pgsql: > ports: [5432] > output: > logstash: > enabled: true > hosts: ["dev-ingress1:10614", "dev-ingress2.10614"] > tls: > disabled: false > certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/ssl/certs/dev-beats-ca.pem"] > insecure: false Ubuntu 12.04.5 packetbeat 1.0.1 postgres 9.2.13-1.pgdg12.4+1 Any ideas about the cause of this and how I can solve it? Thanks! ---

We've some fixes in 1.1, but still unsure about problem being fixed or still persist. Any attempts to reproduce failed. Can you try with packetbeat 1.1 nightlies: [https://beats-nightlies.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?prefix=packetbeat/](https://beats-nightlies.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?prefix=packetbeat/) You can follow the issue on github: > > ---

Hi @steffens I'm now running 1.2.0~nightly160112155654 with the same config, but still getting this error. Is there any other info you want about the system? ---

Hi, we're still trying to reproduce this problem for being able to debug and fix the issue. Unfortunately it's still hiding. We're still in need for a good trace. See [this github comment](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/565#issuecomment-168663852) for a small shell script trying to capture and validate a trace reproducing the issue. Please use [github issue #565](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/565) for discussions, as we treat this as a bug. ---
