We have a requirement for one of our customer where we need to read Oracle DB alert logs. Oracle DB is placed.on Solaris server. As far as we know filebeat does not have support for Solaris. Can you please provide the solution where we can read DB alert logs from Solaris server and ship the data into logstash.

Hello, thanks for the question about filebeat on Solaris 11. There is a similar post here where we recommend leveraging syslog to get logs to logstash. Do you think this approach would work the Oracle logs?

Thanks for replying. Yes we are looking for similar kind of solution.

Can you give some sort of steps or example to use syslog for sending the data to Logstash?

Also, which shipper would be used to ship the data to logatash?

Thanks !!
