I want to load streaming data through a spool directory on to HDFS. I have been using the following configuration file for the same.
# Describe/configure the source

a1.sources.r1.type = spooldir

a1.sources.r1.spoolDir = /root/spool

a1.sources.r1.fileHeader = true

a1.sources.r1.interceptors = timestampInterceptor

a1.sources.r1.interceptors.timestampInterceptor.type = timestamp

# Describe the sink

a1.sinks.k1.type = hdfs

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.path = /user/root/flume/example

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.fileType= DataStream

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.writeFormat= Text

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.rollInterval = 30

# Use a channel which buffers events in memory

a1.channels.c1.type = memory

a1.channels.c1.capacity = 1000

a1.channels.c1.transactionCapacity = 100

# Bind the source and sink to the channel

a1.sources.r1.channels = c1

a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1

Flume agent command -

cd /usr/hdp/current/flume-server/bin

./flume-ng agent --conf conf --conf-file ~/flumelogs.conf --name a1 -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console

I have recently upgraded Hortonworks to version 2.6.
These commands worked fine for me with version 2.5 but I got the following error with the new version.

ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console. Set system property 'log4j2.debug' to show Log4j2 internal initialization logging.


Could you please help me a workaround for this issue?

I faced a similar issue while running the flume command from the command line in HDP 2.6.

/usr/hdp/current/flume-server/bin/flume-ng agent --name agent --conf /usr/hdp/current/flume-server/conf/agent --conf-file /usr/hdp/current/flume-server/conf/agent/flume.conf

I resloved this issue by copying the log4j2.xml file in the location: /usr/hdp/current/flume-server/conf/agent

Where did you paste log4j2.xml?

I solved the problem by adding the following :

 

-Dlog4j.configurationFile=/usr/hdp/current/flume-server/conf/log4j2.xml

 

My whole command is:

 

/usr/hdp/current/flume-server/bin/flume-ng agent --conf conf --conf-file /home/maria_dev/flume_uygulama_01/flumelogs.conf --name a1 -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console -Dlog4j.configurationFile=/usr/hdp/current/flume-server/conf/log4j2.xml
