The FileTailer adaptor is located in a subpackage called filetailer. Try this command instead:
add fileTailer.FileTailer /tmp/foo 0 Sorry about the documentation error. In addition, I would recomend using add fileTailer.CharFileTailingAdaptorUTF8NewLineEscaped /tmp/foo 0 This supports UTF-8 characters and using new line character as delimiter to stream log entry. Hope this helps. regards, Eric On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 6:16 PM, Noel Duffy <noel.du...@sli-systems.com> wrote: > In the documentation for the chukwa agent for version 0.4.0, at this url: > > http://incubator.apache.org/chukwa/docs/r0.4.0/agent.html > > There is a section titled Adaptors which begins: > >> This section lists the standard adaptors, and the arguments they take. >> FileAdaptor: Pushes a whole file, as one Chunk, then exits.
