Ubuntu16.04+Flume1.8.0
1.下载apache-flume-1.8.0-bin.tar.gz
http://flume.apache.org/download.html
2.解压到/usr/local/flume中
3.设置配置文件/etc/profile文件，增加flume的路径
①vi /etc/profile
export FLUME_HOME=/usr/local/flume
export PATH=$PATH:$FLUME_HOME/bin
②让配置文件立即生效
source /etc/profile
4.检查flume环境是否生效
flume-ng version
5.在/usr/local/flume/conf中增加一个example.conf文件
# example.conf: A single-node Flume configuration # Name the components on this agent
a1.sources = r1
a1.sinks = k1
a1.channels = c1 # Describe/configure the source
a1.sources.r1.type = netcat
a1.sources.r1.bind = localhost
a1.sources.r1.port = # Describe the sink
a1.sinks.k1.type = logger # Use a channel which buffers events in memory
a1.channels.c1.type = memory
a1.channels.c1.capacity =
a1.channels.c1.transactionCapacity = # Bind the source and sink to the channel
a1.sources.r1.channels = c1
a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1
6.启动flume
flume-ng agent --conf /usr/local/flume/conf --conf-file /usr/local/flume/conf/example.conf --name a1 -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console
7.使用telnet连接到flume并发送数据
$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Hello world! <ENTER>
OK
8.在flume的进程中可以看到如下信息
[INFO - org.apache.flume.sink.LoggerSink.process(LoggerSink.java:)] Event: { headers:{} body: 6C 6C 6F 6F 6C 0D Hello World!. }
PS:当你发送的数据超过16字节时，也只能最多显示16字节，其实数据是能完全接收完全的！
如果发送数据真的超过最大长度，会出现Client sent event exceeding the maximum length错误。
可参考《flume-ng 测试过程中event丢失部分body数据》
以上。
