采集需求:比如业务系统使用log4j生成的日志,日志内容不断增加,需要把追加到日志文件中的数据实时采集到hdfs。

根据需求,首先定义以下3大要素

  • 采集源,即source——监控文件内容更新 : exec ‘tail -F file’
  • 下沉目标,即sink——HDFS文件系统 : hdfs sink
  • Source和sink之间的传递通道——channel,可用file channel 也可以用 内存channel

配置文件编写:

agent1.sources = source1
agent1.sinks = sink1
agent1.channels = channel1

# Describe/configure tail -F source1
agent1.sources.source1.type = exec
agent1.sources.source1.command = tail -F /home/hadoop/logs/access_log
agent1.sources.source1.channels = channel1

#configure host for source
agent1.sources.source1.interceptors = i1
agent1.sources.source1.interceptors.i1.type = host
agent1.sources.source1.interceptors.i1.hostHeader = hostname

# Describe sink1
agent1.sinks.sink1.type = hdfs
#a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.path =hdfs://hdp-node-01:9000/weblog/flume-collection/%y-%m-%d/%H-%M
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.filePrefix = access_log
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.maxOpenFiles = 5000
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.batchSize= 100
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.writeFormat =Text
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollSize = 102400
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollCount = 1000000
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollInterval = 60
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.round = true
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.roundValue = 10
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.roundUnit = minute
agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.useLocalTimeStamp = true

# Use a channel which buffers events in memory
agent1.channels.channel1.type = memory
agent1.channels.channel1.keep-alive = 120
agent1.channels.channel1.capacity = 500000
agent1.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 600

# Bind the source and sink to the channel
agent1.sources.source1.channels = channel1
agent1.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1
