    Hi @Raghunath Dalal,

    In your config file [I am guessing a file named filebeat.yml] that you are using to trigger filebeat, in that comment out add_docker_metadata and add_kubernetes_metadata.

    That is change that line to 
    #add_docker_metadata
    #add_kubernetes_metadata

    Then try. It will work.

    We do not have Docker and Kubernetes in AIX. So it is complaining. 

    Check out our blog https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/aditya-kamath/2025/07/14/monitor-aix-with-elastic-beats-observability-on-ai
    If you want to try other beats also.
