Flume是一个分布式、可靠、和高可用的海量日志聚合的系统，支持在系统中定制各类数据发送方，用于收集数据；同时，Flume提供对数据进行简单处理，并写到各种数据接受方（可定制）的能力。

flume的基本概念

如下图

Agent component diagram

每个agent都具有三个元素，source、channel、sink。

source：数据流的源。产生event。

channel：可以理解成数据流的管道。传递event

sink :  数据流的终点。消耗event

注：source可以上一节点的sink，sink可以指定为下一节点的source。比较常见的场景如下图

A fan-in flow using Avro RPC to consolidate events in one place

为以收集日志，并做实时的集中存储，元素相应类型如下

1.source ： client端使用exec类型，通过tail –F 产生event。server端使用avro类型，用于接收client端发出的event

2.channel ： 使用file类型。(测试期使用了mem类似)

3. sink: client端使用avro类型，传递给server端。server端使用file_roll类型，指定相应目录储存日志。最终方案会使用hdfs

flume具体配置如下：

1、将flume 解压到 /usr/local/flume下

2、agent端配置

flume允许对环境资源使用做设置，需要修改配置，/PREFIX/conf/flume-env.sh  可以通过实际情况进行调整

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms100m -Xmx200m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"

#此处PREFIX 代表 /usr/local/flume


配置（/PREFIX/conf/flume-client.properties）

# Name the components on this agent

a1.sources = r1

a1.channels = c1

a1.sinks = k1


# Describe/configure the source

a1.sources.r1.type = exec

a1.sources.r1.command = tail -n 0 -F /space/nginxlogs/access.web.log

a1.sources.r1.channels = c1



# Describe/configure the channels (后面有memory channel配置方案)

a1.channels.c1.type = file

a1.channels.c1.keep-alive = 10

a1.channels.c1.write-timeout = 10

a1.channels.c1.checkpointDir = /space/guang_mobileapi_flume/checkpoint

a1.channels.c1.useDualCheckpoints = true

a1.channels.c1.backupCheckpointDir =  /space/guang_mobileapi_flume/backupcheckpoint

a1.channels.c1.dataDirs = /space/guang_mobileapi_flume/data


# Describe/configure the sink

a1.sinks.k1.type = avro

a1.sinks.k1.hostname = 192.168.10.35

a1.sinks.k1.port = 44444

a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1


（# Describe/configure the channels  （次方案可以替换前面的file channel配置方案）

a1.channels.c1.type = memory

a1.channels.c1.capacity = 1000

a1.channels.c1.transactionCapacity = 100

）  


server配置：

# Name the components on this agent

a1.sources = r1

a1.sinks = k1

a1.channels = c1


# Describe/configure the source

a1.sources.r1.type = avro

a1.sources.r1.channels = c1

a1.sources.r1.bind = 0.0.0.0

a1.sources.r1.port = 44444


# Describe the sink

a1.sinks.k1.type = hdfs

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.path = /logs/web/nginx/%Y%m%d

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.rollInterval = 3600

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.rollSize = 0

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.rollCount = 0

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.useLocalTimeStamp = true

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.filePrefix = access.guang.j.cn

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.inUseSuffix = .tmp

a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.idleTimeout = 300


# Use a channel which buffers events in memory

a1.channels.c1.type = file

a1.channels.c1.write-timeout = 10

a1.channels.c1.keep-alive = 10

a1.channels.c1.checkpointDir = /space/flume/checkpoint

a1.channels.c1.useDualCheckpoints = true

a1.channels.c1.backupCheckpointDir =  /space/flume/backupcheckpoint

a1.channels.c1.dataDirs = /space/flume/data


# Bind the source and sink to the channel

a1.sources.r1.channels = c1

a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1


(

# Describe the sink （前面面有hdfs方式）

a1.sinks.k1.type = file_roll

a1.sinks.k1.sink.directory = /tmp/test

a1.sinks.k1.sink.rollInterval = 3600


# Use a channel which buffers events in memory   （前面有file channel配置方案）

a1.channels.c1.type = memory

a1.channels.c1.capacity = 1000

a1.channels.c1.transactionCapacity = 100

# Bind the source and sink to the channel

a1.sources.r1.channels = c1

a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1

)


以上配置1小时自动释放一次。可理解成每小时截断一次。因为hadoop目录使用日志变量，在某文件空闲5分钟后自己释放。


启动(client 和server端只有配置文件不同)

cd /PREFIX

./flume-ng agent -n a1 -c ../conf -f ../conf/flume-XXXXX.properties    2>/dev/null  &


另附启停脚本


#!/bin/bash


PREFIX="/usr/local/flume"
AGENT="a1"

start(){
echo  starting
ps aux |grep -v grep|grep $PREFIX -q
if [ $? -eq 0 ];then
   echo flume is already running
   exit 1
fi
cd $PREFIX
bin/flume-ng agent -n $AGENT -c conf -f conf/flume-XXXXX.properties    2>/dev/null &
}
stop(){
ps aux |grep -v grep|grep $PREFIX -q
if [ $? -ne 0 ];then
   echo flume is not running
else
   ps aux |grep -v grep|grep $PREFIX|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill -15
   sleep 3
   ps aux |grep -v grep|grep $PREFIX -q
   [ $? -eq 0 ]  && ps aux |grep flume|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill -9
fi
}
status(){
ps aux |grep -v grep|grep $PREFIX -q
if [ $? -eq 0 ];then
   echo flume is running
else
   echo flume is not running
fi
}


case $1 in
   start)
       start
   ;;
   stop)
       stop
   ;;
   restart)
       stop
       sleep 1
       start
   ;;
   status)
       status
   ;;
   *)
       echo "Useage : $0 [start|stop|restat|status]"
   ;;
esac


如果有不同的agent  并且server是一个  而且收集的日志不同，那么上述配置只需要修改几个地方就OK了

1、修改agent和server的端口

2、server端配置文件要换一个新的 而且中的a1 c1 r1 k1  换成其他标示如：a2 c2 r2 k2 以及a1.sinks.k1.hdfs.path  a1.channels.c1.checkpointDir a1.channels.c1.backupCheckpointDir a1.channels.c1.dataDirs 的路径
