Packetbeat isn’t capturing MySQL performance data
editPacketbeat isn’t capturing MySQL performance data
editYou may be listening on the wrong interface or trying to capture data sent over an encrypted connection. Packetbeat can only monitor MySQL traffic if it is unencrypted. To resolve your issue:
-
Make sure Packetbeat is configured to listen on the
lo0
interface:packetbeat.interfaces.device: lo0
-
Make sure the client programs you are monitoring run
mysql
with SSL disabled. For example:mysql --protocol tcp --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --ssl-mode=DISABLED
When SSL is disabled, the connection between the MySQL client and server is unencrypted, which means that anyone with access to your network may be able to inspect data sent between the client and server. If MySQL is running in an untrusted network, it’s not advisable to disable encryption.
