I need some help with Filebeat (7.5.2-1) on AIX... I recently migrated to AIX 7.2 (7200-05-02-2114), and when I start filebeat it won't write a log file... If I install this on my other LPARS and take all the defaults it runs fine and logs to
/opt/freeware/var/log/filebeat/filebeat...
# rpm -qa | grep filebeat
filebeat-7.5.2-1.ppc
# /opt/freeware/bin/filebeat &
# ps -ef | grep filebeat
