The environment I am supporting is a mixed environment of Solaris, AIX and Linux. So far I am not finding any information on getting beats to run on non-linux UNIX servers. Has anyone been able to get this to work? Any help would be appreciated. ---

Logstash runs in a JVM and should theoretically run on any platform with a JVM. In reality it's not necessarily that easy. There have been reports in the past about people having JRuby-related issues when running on AIX (and HP-UX, IIRC). Beats requires a Go compiler so you should at least be able to compile it for Solaris/amd64 without any problems (but you may be the first one doing so). See [https://golang.org/doc/install/source#environment](https://golang.org/doc/install/source#environment). Maybe gccgo can help. ---
