Hi,

We don't officially support Solaris, but you can build some of the beats for the Solaris 11 / amd64 platform, which is the only supported by the Go compiler.

See the instructions here to build it yourself:

Use the newer go version (currently 1.10.2), not the one specified in the post as it won't work anymore.
