I am trying to start multiple flume agents from abmari, but have not found how to do that. I understand that it is possible to do from command line, but I want to have ambari monitoring.

Just put everything to single config.

Like

Agent1.sources..
Agent1.sinks..
Agent1.channels..

Agent2.sources..
Agent2.sinks..
Agent2.channels..

Note, is possible to manage those agent separately (ambari will split them) and each one will run in a separate process

AFAIK you can create multiple flume agent configurations on different nodes uses host groups. You can also merge config files in one agent together but I don't think there is any way to manage multiple flume agents on the same host in ambari.
