Yes and no. You can run Chukwa collectors anywhere, but there are quite a number of plugins designed for collecting Hadoop data. Also, Chukwa deals with large volumes of collected data by writing to HDFS (or HBase?), so it uses Hadoop as well. > > 2.

There are a number of other frameworks for collecting log data and other system information such as Facebook's Scribe, Cloudera's Flume, and even more traditional systems such as Nagios or Ganglia. > > Best Regards > > xzer Hope this helps, Jiaqi
