Flume agent on windows

Hi to all,

I need to install the flume-agent (1.5) on a Windows environment, to collect the logs and bring them on a hdp cluster on azure.

Can I only configure the agent or need complete installation of flume?

There is a complete guide with all steps of all installation / configuration?

I searched on web but could not find a complete guide.

Thank you

I can propose much easier steps:

1. Download flume binaries - http://flume.apache.org/download.html and extract it somewhere (this is going to be a FLUME_HOME)

2. Download winutils and put it somwhere (f.e. C:/winutils/bin, in this case C:/winutils is going to be a HADOOP_HOME)

3. Copy all missed hdfs libs to your FLUME_HOME/lib (you can find them in your hadoop cluster, is always preferable to have exact the same versions as in /usr/hdp/current/hadoop or /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-hdfs)

4. Run flume agent with the following command:

bin\flume-ng agent -name MyAgent -f conf/MyAgent.properties -property "flume.root.logger=INFO,LOGFILE,console;flume.log.file=MyLog.log;hadoop.home.dir=C:/winutils"

I've never tried that scenario, but it should be possible.

All you need is to install flume on windows machine (just extract zip file) and add jars needed to connect to azure (if any).

You can use hdfs.kerberosPrincipal, hdfs.kerberosKeytab properties if you have secure hdfs

Hello everyone,

I am writing to report the steps I followed.

For test I'm using Windows 10 as a client machine, which runs on the sandbox with VirtualBox 2.4.

I added the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 sandbox.hortonworks.com

I was inspired by these guide because with binary Apache have more error and other difficulties: http://mapredit.blogspot.it/2012/07/run-flume-13x-on-windows.html

- Installed jdk and maven

- Set the environment variable

- Compiled with maven

- Unpacking the tar in c:\flume

- Created the flume configuration file

syslog-agent.sources = Syslog 
syslog-agent.channels = MemoryChannel-1 
syslog-agent.sinks = Console
syslog-agent.sources.Syslog.type = syslogTcp 
syslog-agent.sources.Syslog.port = 5140
syslog-agent.sources.Syslog.channels = MemoryChannel-1 
syslog-agent.sinks.Console.channel = MemoryChannel-1 
syslog-agent.sinks.Console.type = logger
syslog-agent.channels.MemoryChannel-1.type = memory

- Launched the client:

java -Xmx20m -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///%CD%\conf\log4j.properties -cp "c:\flume\lib\*" org.apache.flume.node.Application -f c:\flume\conf\syslog-agent.conf -n syslog-agent

- Try to send syslog message, and have this response:

2016-03-15 17:50:42,215 (SinkRunner-PollingRunner-DefaultSinkProcessor) [INFO - org.apache.flume.sink.LoggerSink.process(LoggerSink.java:94)] Event: { headers:{host=host, Severity=7, Facility=1, priority=15, timestamp=1458042030000} body: 66 6F 6F 5B 33 34 35 5D 3A 20 61 20 73 79 73 6C foo[345]: a sysl }

Works (yeah), then I try write log on HDFS (my final goal).

Change conf file in:

syslog-agent.sources = Syslog
syslog-agent.channels = MemoryChannel-1
syslog-agent.sinks = HDFS-LAB
syslog-agent.sources.Syslog.type = syslogTcp
syslog-agent.sources.Syslog.port = 5140
syslog-agent.sources.Syslog.channels = MemoryChannel-1
syslog-agent.sinks.HDFS-LAB.channel = MemoryChannel-1
syslog-agent.sinks.HDFS-LAB.type = hdfs
syslog-agent.sinks.HDFS-LAB.hdfs.path = hdfs://sandbox.hortonworks.com:8020/apps/flume/%y-%m-%d/%H%M/%S
syslog-agent.sinks.HDFS-LAB.hdfs.file.Prefix = syslogfiles-
syslog-agent.sinks.HDFS-LAB.hdfs.round = true
syslog-agent.sinks.HDFS-LAB.hdfs.roundValue = 10
syslog-agent.sinks.HDFS-LAB.hdfs.roundUnit = second
syslog-agent.channels.MemoryChannel-1.type = memory

Start agen, ERROR:

I tried to take the jar out of the sandbox (hadoop-common-2.7.1.2.4.0.0-169.jar) and it runs nicely.

with no problem, when send syslog message, and have this response:

@Alessio Ubaldi apache commons jar is missing. Just determine which class is asking for it and what version https://commons.apache.org/

That should be commons-configuration, commons-io and htrace-core from /usr/hdp/current/hadoop/lib

Hi,

thanks for suggestion.

I copy all jar missing file (I think), but when sink start I have this warning, and on hdfs write some tmp empty file.

Seems a common issue for single node cluster and sandboxes:)

I can propose much easier steps:

1. Download flume binaries - http://flume.apache.org/download.html and extract it somewhere (this is going to be a FLUME_HOME)

2. Download winutils and put it somwhere (f.e. C:/winutils/bin, in this case C:/winutils is going to be a HADOOP_HOME)

3. Copy all missed hdfs libs to your FLUME_HOME/lib (you can find them in your hadoop cluster, is always preferable to have exact the same versions as in /usr/hdp/current/hadoop or /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-hdfs)

4. Run flume agent with the following command:

bin\flume-ng agent -name MyAgent -f conf/MyAgent.properties -property "flume.root.logger=INFO,LOGFILE,console;flume.log.file=MyLog.log;hadoop.home.dir=C:/winutils"

Thank you, I try this solution today. I just have to start agent with java, with windows I can't started with bin\flume-ng command.
