Guyle Taber created FLUME-2473:
----------------------------------
Summary: Flume exec tail -f date on apache log - unix date
formatting
Key: FLUME-2473
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2473
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Question
Components: Configuration
Affects Versions: v1.5.0.1
Environment: CentOS 6.5
Reporter: Guyle Taber
Priority: Minor
I'm trying to setup a flume source using the exec type and using tail -F on a
log file that will be date stamped. The docs indicate typical unix commands
would work, but date formatting for a file that's name changes each day doesn't
seem to work.
agent.sources.apache.command = tail -F
/usr/local/apache/localhost/logs/access_log.`date +%Y%m%d`
If I use "tail -F /usr/local/apache/localhost/logs/access_log.`date +%Y%m%d`"
at the shell it works perfectly, but used inside the flume.conf for this
source, I get nothing.
Is there a way to use the unix date formatting in the source definition in
flume.conf?
