Please indicate on the docs page what platforms logstash supports

Description

Hi,

Logstash looks like a great tool. Unfortunately, it won't work for my purposes because I wanted to use it in a Solaris 10 environment. It looks like logstash depends on inotify, so no cool logging tool for me. 😞

It would have saved me a few minutes to know that before I spent the time to download it and try to set it up.

A callout in the docs page that indicates it's linux only would save folks like me a little time.

Thanks,
-Brian

Awesome! Thanks. I'll download 1.1.0 and give it a shot.

That said, the full intention is to work on all platforms where possible. Using inotify was an early mistake I regretted shortly after making it.

I'll remove the 'beta' flag from 1.1.0 as soon as I finish some testing, but in general it's already deployed in production many places and is fully supported for features, bugs, etc.

Sorry for the confusion, but this is fixed in logstash 1.1.0 - As of logstash 1.1.0 (currently in production-supported beta), it works on Windows, OS X, Solaris, etc.

You can download it here: http://semicomplete.com/files/logstash/logstash-1.1.0beta7-monolithic.jar
