flume help for installation process


1 Answer(s)


hi Lambrini,

You have started the flume-ng agent and looks like you did Ctrl +C. open two terminals :
- On the first terminal start flume agent ( flume-ng agent -n agent -c conf -f flume-conf.properties)
- on the second terminal copy any of the files into the directory "/home/cloudera/flumeSpool"
- once the file is copied, on termianl 1 you can see that flume has processed the copied file(s) and put them into hdfs location.

you can check what data is written to the hdfs flume directory as given in the property file. At this stage you can stop flume by Ctrl +C

Thanks
