Hello All
I installed Splunk (splunk-4.1.3-80534-AIX-powerpc.tgz) on one of our AIX server.
The above installation came with *NIX app bundled with it, but was in disabled state by default (after installation).
When I activated the *NIX app, it asked to configure different parameters like the frequency of polling etc., - which I did.
But even after the configuration, I don't see any thing under the *NIX app. No view/dashboard seems to work.
My question is whether *NIX app supported for AIX at all?
If it supported, am I missing some step to make it work?
I could successfully install and run *NIX app on many flavors of Linux.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, the *NIX app currently supports only the following: Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, and MacOS X.
It appears to work now. I'm running Splunk 5 on AIX 7.1.
Is still not Supporting for AIX?
No, AIX is supported now - or at least, much more than it was before. See http://blogs.splunk.com/2011/11/07/splunk-for-unix-and-linux-an-update-and-an-introduction/

Jaci,
Thanks for confirming this.
I later noticed from splunk/etc/apps/unix/bin/common.sh that
only following OSes matching to "uname -s" are supported:
"Linux"
"SunOS"
"Darwin"
"FreeBSD"
Thanks once again for your answer.
