Hi aasabatini 

Thanks for suggestion, btw my splunk indexer server using 8.1.2 , if that the case can I user forwarder 8.1.3 to connect to my indexer 8.1.2?

Btw, my problem seems related with library on AIX it self, do we need to install the required AIX library because some how when I try to check path of library (/usr/lib ) the file library is exist there, but when I start splunk UF , error message library can't export from...... "Like my capture above"

Hi @nabawi 

Please let me know which Aix Version is running.

Also run:

ls -lrt /opt/splunkforawarder 

to check the owner of the path.

Another suggestion you can download the Uf Ver 8.1.3

hope can help
