Hello all.

We're trying to install https://github.com/WuerthIT/perfstatbeat on an AIX 7.1 server per the request of our Unix engineering team.

I'm not familiar with perfbeatstat but was able to build the executable.

However, when I run it, I get the following error:

./perfstatbeat -e -v -d "*"

Where are the outputs mentioned in the ERROR defined?

I looked in the filebeat.yml and found an output section as shown here:

#================================ Outputs =====================================

Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:

Array of hosts to connect to.

hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

#protocol: "https"
#username: "elastic"
#password: "changeme"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
#output.logstash:

The Logstash hosts

#hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

Optional SSL. By default is off.

List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

Certificate for SSL client authentication

#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

Client Certificate Key

#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"

But I'm not clear on what I need to add/edit.

Any suggestions on how to address this?

Please advise.

Thanks all.

Hi sir,

First I'd like to thanks to you. I already success running perfstatbeat.
I want to ask something:

Is perfstatbeat only get diskio and load?
can we add more metricset? if yes , would you like to share the details how to add more metric like memory, processor, network, etc like metricbeat.

Please advice,
Thanks in advance
