Flume实战二，tail -F的方式监控一个文件实时采集新增的数据输出到控制台

在cd $FLUME_HOME/conf
vim exec-memory-logger.conf

    #exec-memory-logger.conf内容
    # a1可以看做是flume服务的名称，每个flume都由sources、channels和sinks三部分组成
    # sources可以看做是数据源头、channels是中间转存的渠道、sinks是数据后面的去向
    a1.sources = r1
    a1.sinks = k1
    a1.channels = c1
    
    # 配置Source
    a1.sources.r1.type = exec
    a1.sources.r1.command = tail -F /data/a.txt
    a1.sources.r1.shell = /bin/sh -c
    #a1.sources.r1.command = for i in /path/*.txt; do cat $i; done
    
    # 配置Channel
    a1.channels.c1.type = memory
    
    # 配置Sinks
    a1.sinks.k1.type = logger
    
    # Bind the source and sink to the channel 
    #将指定source（r1）和channel（c1）绑定
    #再将sink(k1)和channel（c1）绑定
    #则：source（r1）和 sink(k1)已经连通
    a1.sources.r1.channels = c1
    a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1
