I've also found that when running from elsewhere, the dir should contain a flume-env.sh file that references FLUME_HOME - that way the log4j.properties file will be included. This approach also allows each flume agent to have the heap size and JAVA_HOME variables configured independently.

If you run from elsewhere pass in the path to the directory containing the log4j.properties file as the value of --conf parameter.

I am confused that Lanuching from other dir, flume will NOT log anything to user assigned logger. ________________________________ [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Save Paper - Do you really need to print this e-mail?
