This guide installs Apache Flume and configures a basic agent.
Download the latest binary release from the Apache Flume website and extract it:
tar -xvzf apache-flume-1.11.0-bin.tar.gz
cd apache-flume-1.11.0-bin
Create conf/flume.conf with a simple source-channel-sink flow:
agent.sources = src
agent.channels = ch
agent.sinks = sink
agent.sources.src.type = netcat
agent.sources.src.bind = 0.0.0.0
agent.sources.src.port = 44444
agent.channels.ch.type = memory
agent.sinks.sink.type = logger
agent.sinks.sink.channel = ch
bin/flume-ng agent -n agent -c conf -f conf/flume.conf
echo "hello" | nc 127.0.0.1 44444
