My environment is like this:  
os : cent os 5.6

I installed filebeat 1.2.2 and I started filebeat.  
But segmentation fault occurred.

# /etc/init.d/filebeat start

Starting filebeat: /etc/init.d/filebeat: line 43: 19077 Segmentation fault $agent $args $test\_args

Does anyone know the reason of this problem?

I don't think we support RHEL/Centos 5.X sorry, that's probably why.

RHEL/centos 5.x have a too old kernel not supported by golang.

This seems to worth a look: [Filebeat 5.1.1 running on Red Hat 5 Enterprise](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-5-1-1-running-on-red-hat-5-enterprise/71409)
