Elastic Stack Beats

Hi,

I tried to install auditbeat on Proxmox Container (Ubuntu)
It failed with following msg written to the log


2023-05-19T15:03:04.117-0400    INFO    instance/beat.go:309    Setup Beat: auditbeat; Version: 7.15.0

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you are running within a container then you likely need to give the container some additional capabilities that are normally restricted if you are using Docker and the like.
