  • 1.  Logstash for AIX

    Posted Mon June 07, 2021 06:13 AM
    Dear Team,

    I want to ask if there are any plannings or maybe already a beta for Elastic Logstash on AIX?
    After filebeat and metricbeat we want to use logstash on AIX as well...

    Best regards,
    Joerg

    sounds good will not work,as  logstash allone is pointless without the whole elk stack. on the other hand, a fully working elk stack on aix is difficult to imagine.
    i send aix filebeats to linux based elk, as linux elk installs are a matter of minutes, and it spares me aix insanities.

    I regret starting this entire conversation

    Hi Joerg,
    Right now there is no plan for logstash for AIX but as C- -T mentioned will it be useful with whole elk stack on AIX?

    Hello C- -T, hello Sanket,

    we just need Logstash on some Server to transfer 16 mio Oracle database entries to an Elasticsearch system weekly.
    Filebeat unfortunately has no module for that... and an ordinary file transfer is not recommended. We will try to find another solution...

    Thanks for your support...

    Best regards.
