Even I have the same scenario as mentioned by Otis. But as far as the documentation for embedded-agent goes, it seems there is a limitation on the kind of sources/sinks that can be used with embedded agent.
Please let me know if I am wrong in my understanding. Regards, Shobha M From: Bhaskar V.

Hi Otis, May be you need to look at embedded flume agent http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/cdh/4/flume-ng/FlumeDeveloperGuide.html#embedded-agent On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 12:11 PM, Otis Gospodnetic <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I'm wondering if Flume (its ExecSource?) can be used separately from the rest of Flume? Specifically, I need to tail a log file from a Java app and then do something with each new line. I just want my Java app to get each new line from tailing and process it in some custom way. In other words, I don't really need Flume to be involved in anything beyond tailing files. Is that doable?
