Hello, I am unable to find the "Flume " parcel in CDH 5.7.0. When I type flume-ng help, I get the required output that I should get if flume is intalled in my PC.
[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ flume-ng help
Usage: /usr/lib/flume-ng/bin/flume-ng <command> [options]...
commands:
help display this help text
agent run a Flume agent
avro-client run an avro Flume client
version show Flume version info
global options:
--conf,-c <conf> use configs in <conf> directory
--classpath,-C <cp> append to the classpath
--dryrun,-d do not actually start Flume, just print the command
--plugins-path <dirs> colon-separated list of plugins.d directories. See the
plugins.d section in the user guide for more details.
Default: $FLUME_HOME/plugins.d
-Dproperty=value sets a Java system property value
-Xproperty=value sets a Java -X option
agent options:
--name,-n <name> the name of this agent (required)
--conf-file,-f <file> specify a config file (required if -z missing)
--zkConnString,-z <str> specify the ZooKeeper connection to use (required if -f missing)
--zkBasePath,-p <path> specify the base path in ZooKeeper for agent configs
--no-reload-conf do not reload config file if changed
--help,-h display help text
avro-client options:
--rpcProps,-P <file> RPC client properties file with server connection params
--host,-H <host> hostname to which events will be sent
--port,-p <port> port of the avro source
--dirname <dir> directory to stream to avro source
--filename,-F <file> text file to stream to avro source (default: std input)
--headerFile,-R <file> File containing event headers as key/value pairs on each new line
--help,-h display help text
Either --rpcProps or both --host and --port must be specified.
Note that if <conf> directory is specified, then it is always included first
in the classpath.
But how to add and start it as a service in Cloudera manager as kafka. I don't understand wherher I need the flume to be started as a service or it will be enough to just install it?
When I check the status of flume from terminal:
[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sudo service flume-ng-agent status
Flume NG agent is not running [FAILED]
So should I add it as a service in CM or not? If yes then how? Please suggest me.
