Hi! We currently don't have support for AIX in Filebeat. But we do have a github issue to track this: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/15785](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/15785)

Hi All,

There are some alternatives for AIX. On github and also on IBM AIX Toolbox

If you are interested in that, I wrote a daemon which try to make the same than Metricbeat for AIX. It makes also some Filebeat functionalities.

It is called Metraixbeat and it is on Github  
[https://github.com/bhm-ibm/Metraixbeat](https://github.com/bhm-ibm/Metraixbeat)

Please check !

Bye
