Filebeat on AIX 7.2

  • 1.  Filebeat on AIX 7.2

    Posted Thu July 09, 2020 10:37 PM
    I downloaded the filebeat 7.5.2-1 rpm today and installed it on an LPAR running 7200-04-01-1939.

    I am trying to start it and could not get it to start

    $ ./filebeat
    Illegal instruction(coredump)

    $ ./filebeat start
    Illegal instruction(coredump)

    $ ./filebeat -e

    I can see two filbeat files, /opt/freeware/bin/filebeat which is a shell script & the other is /opt/freeware/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat

    Also, when I had installed the older version of filebeat (filebeat-5.5.1-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm) it had prompted me to install libgcc and libgo as dependencies, but this version did not have a dependency on either libgo or libgcc

    I also installed libgo-8.3.0-2.aix7.2.ppc.rpm & libgcc-8.3.0-2.aix7.2.ppc.rpm, but looks like they are not required or not used

    Can one of you tell me the correct way to start it.

    Which version of power processor you are running ?
    /opt/freeware/bin/filebeat shell scripts which executes the binary /opt/freeware/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat with some default settings.
    7.5.2 doesn't have any dependency on libgcc or libgo and we don't have older version-5.5.1 in our AIX Toolbox.

    # rpm -qR filebeat
    /usr/bin/env
    config(filebeat) = 7.5.2-1
    libc.a(shr_64.o)
    libperfstat.a(shr_64.o)
    libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5_64.o)
    rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
    rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

    Good catch @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA. Thank you

    This LPAR was running on a Power 7 Frame and was recently LPM'd to Power 8. But the profile was still set to Power 7 instead of default. Looks like that was the problem​. I modified the profile and booted it up and it now works.. Thank you

    Just curious, can you say why we don't need the libgo rpm for filebeat anylonger

    The new beats software in AIX Toolbox is built using golang where there is no dynamic linking . So no need for any libraries. 
    The older filebeat rpm ( actually part of kubernetes bundle ) is built using gcc-go where it is dynamically linked to gcc libgo shared library.

    golang on AIX is supported only on AIX 7.2 and Power8 or higher processor.
    Hence filebeat 7.5.2 from AIX linux toolbox will not work on Power7 or older hardware.

    Hello,

    The filebeat-7.5.2-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm works fine on our AIX 7.2-TL3-SP2 systems but we stil have several hundreds of AIX 7.1 VM and the Linux Toolbox for AIX does not contain the AIX 7.1 filebeat RPM.

    In despite I installed the RPM filebeat-7.5.2-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm on an AIX 7.1-TL5-SP3 (on Power8) with the --ignoreos option. 
    When I launch the binary I see a SIGSEGV signal (see below).

    Any solution or any plans to provide filebeat in version AIX 7.1 ?

    Thanks
    Pierre

    Hi Pierre,

    Filebeat is a software written in go and we have golang compiler only available for AIX 7.2

    golang needs some features those were not available on AIX 7.1 and AIX 6.1 and hence we could not port golang for AIX 7.1/6.1

    Now when we compile any pakcage on AIX 7.2 (as golang is only available on AIX 7.2) it can not work on older release of AIX.

    Hence AIX 7.2 filebeat does not work on AIX 7.1

    As golang is not available on AIX7.1 we can not port/compile filebeat for AIX 7.1.

    Hi,

    if filebeat running as system process, just kill the process.
    For us I wrote following very simple start-stop script and linked it to /etc/rc.d/rc2.d to start and stop it automatically on all our systems.

    #!/usr/bin/ksh

    NAME="filebeat"
    FILEBEAT_HOME="/opt/freeware"
    PID_DIR="/var/run/filebeat"
    PIDFILE="$PID_DIR/$NAME.pid"

    function filebeat_pid {
        cat $PIDFILE 2> /dev/null
    }

    function p_start {
      # Start filebeat
      echo "\nStarting Filebeat\n"
      [ -d $PID_DIR ] || mkdir -p "$PID_DIR"
      cd $FILEBEAT_HOME/bin && $FILEBEAT_HOME/bin/filebeat run > /dev/null 2>&1 &
      echo $! > $PIDFILE
      return 0
    }

    function p_stop {
      pid=$(filebeat_pid)
      echo "\nShutting down Filebeat\n"
      kill -9 $pid
      rm -f $PIDFILE
      return 0
    }

    case $1 in
        start)
            p_start
            ;;
        stop)
            p_stop
            ;;
        restart)
            p_stop
            p_start
            ;;
        status)
           pid=$(filebeat_pid)
            if [ -n "$pid" ]
            then
               echo "\nMetricbeat is running with pid: $pid\n"
            else
               echo "\nMetricbeat is not running\n"
            fi
            ;;
        *)
            echo "\nUsage: $NAME {start|stop|restart|status}\n"
    esac

    exit 0

    It is not the best solution, but it works...

    If anyone has a different solution, I would like to hear about it...

    filebeat 7.5.2 on AIX linux toolbox is built using golang on AIX. 
    golang on AIX is supported only on AIX 7.2 and Power8 or higher processor.

    I just tried in a AIX 7.2 TL 5 SP2 machine running in Power 9 Mode. And don't see any issue. 

    Can you try invoking "/opt/freeware/bin/filebeat -e" ? It's just a script which in turn invokes the real filebeat binary with some options.

    Also share your filebeat.yml file.

    # cat /opt/freeware/bin/filebeat
    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    # Script to run Filebeat in foreground with the same path settings that
    # the init script / systemd unit file would do.

    exec /opt/freeware/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat \

    hi,
    looks like no luck. does it mean that bash is not installed in my machine? 

    $ /opt/freeware/bin/filebeat -e
    bash: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

    $ sh -x /opt/freeware/bin/filebeat
    + exec /opt/freeware/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat -path.home /opt/freeware/share/filebeat -path.config /opt/freew/etc/filebeat -path.data /opt/freeware/var/lib/filebeat -path.logs /opt/freeware/var/log/filebeat

    Segmentation fault(coredump)

    $ /usr/bin/env bash
    bash: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
