Fails to start with pcap.OpenLive failed(): : No such device exists #2
Description
Hi,
trying out packetbeat, I noticed that it dies on all of our servers with this:
May 8 14:32:42 node21 2014-05-08T14:32:42Z node21 /usr/bin/packetbeat[17772]: main.go:225: pcap.Openlive failed(): : No such device exists (SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device)
It device is set to any and besides some ports nothing was changed in packetbeat.conf. Any hints would be much appreciated, and I'd gladly provide more information...
The environment in question:
