$ ./filebeat -c filebeat.yml -e Loading config file error: Failed to read filebeat.yml: open filebeat.yml: function not implemented. Exiting. my system: LSB Version: :core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:graphics-3.0-amd64:graphics-3.0-noarch Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseAS Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 3) Release: 4 Codename: NahantUpdate3 filebeat: filebeat-1.2.0-x86\_64.tar.gz and 1.1.2 glibc: ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.4 Others same server run success.

According to the Go system requirements [1] the minimum kernel is Linux 2.6.23, and you are running kernel 2.6.9-34 [2]. I'm actually surprised it didn't burst into 🔥 because Go apps normally won't even run on RHEL 5. > [@iyaozhen](#): > > Others same server run success. So you have Filebeat running on other RHEL 4 servers?

Oh, my mistake. this server: cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.9\_5-9-0-0 (stlrelease@xxx) (gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)) #1 SMP Wed Jun 23 14:03:19 CST 2010 others server: cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.32\_1-12-0-0 (scmpf@xxx) (gcc version 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Aug 12 17:59:52 CST 2013 But `lsb_release -a` and `ldd --version` show same: LSB Version: :core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:graphics-3.0-amd64:graphics-3.0-noarch Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseAS Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 3) Release: 4 Codename: NahantUpdate3 ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.4 Maybe my company use custom(edited) server system(RHEL 4). 😅 ---

Thanks you very much. 😘 But So, the question is can I use python publish data to logstash？ ---

I code a [filebeat.py](https://github.com/iyaozhen/filebeat.py) to fixed this problem, and I work well over the past few months. It is released 1.0 version, maybe some people need it. ---
