Here's the command you should use to run flume: */path/to/flume-ng agent —name host1 **--conf /home/hadoop/flume-ng/conf ** -f /home/hadoop/flume-ng/conf/razor.conf *
And if you want to manually specify the location of the logs, you can either hard code it into the log4j.properties or you can remove the line "flume.log.dir=./log" from that file (don't know if that's necessary) and then add the following to the end of your flume command: -Dflume.log.dir=/log/dir - Connor On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 3:17 AM, Alexander Alten-Lorenz <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > You've to add the log4j.properties into the classpath: > > bin/flume-ng agent -n <agent> -f <configfile> --conf <config directory> > > <config directory> means the directory where log4j.properties is located > > In log4j.properties be sure you've the correct path: > > flume.root.logger=INFO,LOGFILE > flume.log.dir=./logs > flume.log.file=flume.log > > - Alex > > On Jan 2, 2013, at 11:00 AM, GuoWei <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hello, Alexander, > > > > I start flume from the root directory ex: /home/hadoop/flume-ng. > > And I also make logs directory in flume-mg directory.
