Hello,

Is there a way to collect disk IO and network metrics from ESX and AIX OS just like we have diskio and network metricset available in the metricbeat system module?

Any workaround available?

Thanks

We don't support AIX sorry to say. I don't know what ESX runs these days, but the last time I used it (6+ years ago) it was a RHEL based OS, so you should be able to install the RPM.
