Thanks for the tip! I was indeed missing the interceptors. I've added
them now but the timestamp and hostname is still not showing up in the
hdfs log. Any advice?

RTFM indicates I need the following sink properties:

But I'm still not getting timestamp information. How would I get
hostname and timestamp information in the logs?

Greetings,
I'm running flume that's shipped with Hortonworks HDP2 to feed
syslogs to hdfs. The problem is the timestamp and hostname of
the event is not logged to hdfs.

How do I configure the sink to add hostname and timestamp info
the the event?
Here's my flume-conf.properties:
