Hi, The dirtailing adaptor takes the directory and file glob (*.log, this is based on the apache commons) as 2 parameters. Make sure there is a space.
I'm not sure way the agent collects the hadoop logs. Make sure you didn't add in the chukwa hadoop metrics config. ________________________________ From: 周鹏 <zhoupeng19850...@gmail.com> To: chukwa-user@hadoop.apache.org <chukwa-user@hadoop.apache.org> Sent: Mon Jun 07 08:10:00 2010 Subject: Adaptor configuration problem Hi,I want to monitoring logs in the dir:/home/rmss/wwwgatta/,and there are two types of log in it,such as gatta.log, gatta.log.2010-05-24. My initial_adaptors is: add DirTailingAdaptor logs /home/rmss/wwwgatta/ *.log filetailer.CharFileTailingAdaptorUTF8 0 When I start agent,the agent.log says that the adaptor has a invalid param: /home/rmss/wwwgatta/ *.log. The second problem is: The agent collected the log in the HADOOP_HOME/logs/,but i didn't put the dir int the initial_adaptors.How can i only monitoring the two types of log in the /home/rmss/wwwgatta/?? Thanks!
