ExecuteFlumeSource
Data Model
This processor executes an Apache Flume source. Each Flume Event is turned into
a FlowFile. The content of the FlowFile is set to the body of the Event and
the Event headers become FlowFile attributes.
Configuration Details
This processor is designed to execute arbitrary Flume sources. Most of the details
of configuring the source is deferred to Flume's built-in configuration system.
For details on the available settings for each source type, refer to the Flume
User Guide.
Configuring the Flume source is a four step process:
- Set the Source Type property to a valid Flume source type.
-
Set the Agent Name property to the name of the agent in your
Flume configuration. This is the prefix of the properties in the Flume
configuration file. Example:
tier1
-
Set the Source Name property to the name of the source in your Flume
configuration. If Agent Name is
tier1
, then the Source Name
is the value of the tier1.sources
property. Example: src-1
-
Copy and paste the configuration for the source from your Flume configuration
file into the Flume Configuration property. Assuming you're using
the same Agent Name and Source Name as in the examples above, this will be all
of the properties that start with
tier1.sources.src-1
.
Do not copy the tier1.sources.src-1.type
or
tier1.sources.src-1.channel
properties.
Usage Example
Assuming you had the following existing Flume configuration file:
a1.sources = r1
a1.sinks = k1
a1.channels = c1
a1.sources.r1.type = multiport_syslogtcp
a1.sources.r1.channels = c1
a1.sources.r1.host = 0.0.0.0
a1.sources.r1.ports = 10001 10002 10003
a1.sources.r1.portHeader = port
a1.sinks.k1.type = logger
a1.channels.c1.type = memory
a1.channels.c1.capacity = 1000
a1.channels.c1.transactionCapacity = 100
a1.sources.r1.channels = c1
a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1
Then you'd configure the ExecuteFlumeSource as follows:
Property
Value
Source Type
multiport_syslogtcp
Agent Name
a1
Source Name
r1
Flume Configuration
a1.sources.r1.host = 0.0.0.0
a1.sources.r1.ports = 10001 10002 10003
a1.sources.r1.portHeader = port
