---------------------------------------
Summary: FlumeAppender should allow interceptors to be specified
on embedded agent
Key: LOG4J2-262
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-262
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta6
Reporter: Edward Sargisson
Attachments: log4j2-interceptors.diff
A Flume agent can be configured to have interceptors. Events are sent to the
interceptors which can drop or modify them before passing them on. Currently,
the embedded Flume agent does not allow them to be set because it prevents a
configuration with any property that starts with sources.
This is annoying when setting up a configuration to log Flume itself. In our
environment we tag log events with the environment, host and component using
interceptors. Sending Flume's logs to the same agent causes issues so the logs
have to be sent to another agent. While it would be possible to configure that
alternative agent to accept incoming events on a separate port per host and
component that is a lot of configuration work to maintain.
The provided patch allows interceptors to be set but continues to disallow
other properties that starts with sources. Updated unit tests and a
documentation update are also included.
