Hi guys,

I was reading this guide (https://cwiki.apache.org/FLUME/getting-started.html) on building and running flume. I've gotten it to successfully build, but when I run the examples given, all I get is the following consistently:

+ exec /usr/bin/java -Xmx20m -cp '/Users/Kim/flume-1.3.0-SNAPSHOT/conf:/Users/ykim/flume-1.3.0-SNAPSHOT/lib/*' -Djava.library.path= org.apache.flume.node.Application -f conf/flume.conf -n agent1

Then, it either hangs or immediately terminates without any output messages. I'm not exactly sure if these examples are incorrect, but in the case it is, is there an immediate example anyone has that would indicate whether or not my build was successful?

Thanks,Young Kim

Hi Young,

I'm not sure why the output shows that that the flume dir is under both the Kim dir and the ykim dir. Did you follow the getting started guide verbatim? Also, does the 'agent1' name match the name of the agent that's specified in the conf file? You can also try enabling the debug level in log4j.properties.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Will

Hey Will,

I followed the guide verbatim, but I miscopied the results. It should be:

+ exec /usr/bin/java -Xmx20m -cp '/Users/ykim/Downloads/flume-1.3.0-SNAPSHOT/conf:/Users/ykim/Downloads/flume-1.3.0-SNAPSHOT/lib/*' -Djava.library.path= org.apache.flume.node.Application -f conf/flume.conf -n agent1

Either way, there is an agent1 in the matching configuration as written in the guide linked earlier. How would I go about enabling the debug level in log4j?

Thanks,
Young
