The DirTailingAdaptor doesn't honor the file filter correctly. After first restart of Chukwa agent, the DirTailingAdaptor is starting an adaptor for files that don't match the filter provided. After little research, I found that the check point file for DirTailingAdaptor doesn't have the file filter argument provided by user. The bug is in "getCurrentStatus" method and it doesn't return the file pattern provided by user in the returned String. I was able to fix the issue by returning the file pattern in the returned String.
Thanks, Deepak Deshpande.
