panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range about beats

[packetb-old]

Unfortunately the stack trace is not very useful, because all goroutines seem to be waiting for IO or in a system call. Based on the logs it looks like there might be an issue parsing the MySQL messages. Which version of MySQL do you have?

Also, if this happens quickly enough, can you please run packetbeat like this? It will add more debugging info:

packetbeat -e -c /etc/packetbeat/packetbeat.conf -d mysql,mysqldetailed

Thanks.

It happens quickly enough, hope this helps gaining insights:

MySQL in this case means Percona 5.5.

Hello,

I'm seeing this error as well, it randomly crashes, with mysql 5.0 on Centos 5.9 using the binary package.

Also I'm trying it in FreeBSD 9 and one time it crashed with the same error but parsing http (nginx proxy), although only happened once for now (in a server with 3000 reqs/minute):

http.go:495: WARN Response from unknown transaction. Ignoring.
http.go:434: WARN Two requests without a response. Dropping old request

We have just released v0.1.1 which should not crash anymore in these cases. Instead it will print a stacktrace to the logs and continue. Please continue to post us the stacktraces if you see them in the logs.

Btw, I'm glad to hear that it works in FreeBSD, apart of the above issues :).

[packetb-old]

This fixes the stack trace from @badcrc. The one from @srenatus might still be there, but hopefully you'll get a better trace when running v0.1.1.
