Installing perfstatbeat

[Tom Wolf_3]

Hello all.

Not sure if this question is appropriate for this forum but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

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.
