Our Sever is hosted in Solaris(OS) but we are not able to install Filebeat to forward the logs to desired port as Filebeat is not supported in Solaris. Can someone here suggest any way to solve this problem. Please note we are told not to install Logstash in the server hosted machine.
Your advices are highly anticipated . Please do the needful.
Filebeat can easily be compiled to run on Solaris 11/amd64, but that is not an officially supported platform based on Elastic's support matrix. All of the Filebeat project's tests pass on Solaris.
It may be be possible to compile Filebeat for Solaris/sparc using gccgo. Filebeat is written in Go, and the Go compiler supports Solaris/amd64 but not sparc which is why the gccgo compiler would be needed for sparc.
There is a filebeat-solaris-amd64 binary generated by Elastic's Jenkins server and published to S3 if you want to do a quick test, but otherwise I would recommend compiling it yourself from a release tag if you are going to be using it.
