Beats on AIX

Need some help for installing beat agents on AIX servers.

Hi,

As you probably already saw, AIX is not supported by Elastic: Support Matrix | Elastic

As the Beats are written in Go and compiled to a native executable, the chances to get it to work are pretty slim. But: There is an open issue to support it, so you might get lucky in the future: Add AIX support · Issue #15785 · elastic/beats · GitHub

Although you did not describe your usecase, you coul take a look at Logstash. As Logstash is a Java application, you might have a better chance to get this to work but without any guarantees (e.g. Logstash sometimes uses native libraries).

Best regards
Wolfram
