Hi uyilmaz, Have you already worked with the embedded agent ( https://flume.apache.org/FlumeDeveloperGuide.html#embedded-agent ) ? That should be a good start for `start()` and similar abilities. Also, you should be able to connect a remote debugger ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/975271/remote-debugging-a-java-application ) to your standalone process.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
