Hey folks, I'm setting up new flume agents, and I'm noticing issues with both live updates to the configuration and cleanly shutting down an agent. I was wondering if anyone should shed light on whether what I'm seeing is based on known issues or if there are any likely culprits.
First of all, if I update the configuration, the agent notices the updated configuation, shuts down (successfully) but doesn't restart with the updated configuration. Secondly, sending a signal (I've tried a variety) to a running flume agent doesn't cleanly shutdown the agent -- for example, the .tmp output file doesn't get moved to its permanent location. So, if I update the configuration (or just touch it), I get a clean shutdown -- but it won't restart. But I don't currently have alternate way that will reliably shut it down. Any advice? --j
