What is the quickest way to check if Apache Flume installation is working?

I have downloaded and extracted Apache Flume.

How can I check if it's ready to run?

Solution

  • You can try running the command bin/flume-ng agent -c conf -f conf/flume-conf.properties.template -n agent -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console in the directory you have extracted the Flume binaries.

    It should start with some info messages (classpath and maybe SLF4j warnings), some start-up messages and a lot of lines like:

    2016-10-13 16:48:22,277 (SinkRunner-PollingRunner-DefaultSinkProcessor) [INFO - org.apache.flume.sink.LoggerSink.process(LoggerSink.java:95)] Event: { headers:{} body: 38 30 32 802 }
