I am trying to work out how Flume can monitor a folder on a Windows 2008 server and push any new files to the collector. I have found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6753825/how-to-tail-a-named-pipe-to-flume-windows-node-flume-node-service which talks about how the tail function is not available, but I am not sure if tailDir uses the same underlying structure as tail. Are there any other options. We would like to find a solution that allows us to run flume with as little overhead as possible, so we are trying to stay away from solutions like using cygwin.
Thanks for you help Jonathan
