Hi, I need to capture VXLAN protocol from my EC2 interface. I am trying to perform port mirroring in AWS, but based on the logs, it seems that VXLAN is not being recognized. The error message I am receiving is: "2024-05-09T08:55:03.982Z ERROR protos/protos.go:164 Unknown protocol plugin: vxlan".  
Is there any way to read this protocol with Packetbeat, or do you have another solution in mind?  
thanks for helping
