Hi everyone

I am trying to implement filebeat in one of ours test system which is AIX (version 7.2) based. Following all the previous discussions, i have noticed that now gcc-go can be installed in AIX 7.2. And we can compile a lot of GO code. My question is, as Filebeat was written in GO language, is it possible to install/compile filebeat in AIX ?

Thank you 🙂
