1 下载Flume
Welcome to Apache Flume --- Apache Flume
下载1.9.0版本
2 上传服务器并解压安装
3 删除lib目录下的guava-11.0.2.jar （如同服务器安装了hadoop，则删除，如没有安装hadoop则保留这个文件，否则无法启动flume）
4 修改conf下的log4j.properties文件
flume.root.logger=INFO,LOGFILE,console
flume.log.dir=/usr/local/flume-1.9.0/logs
5 测试
安装netcat
yum install nc
根目录下创建job目录，目录下新建 nc-flume-console.conf,将netcat输入的内容通过flume收集，并通过console打印在控制台
# example.conf: A single-node Flume configuration
# Name the components on this agent
a1.sources = r1
a1.sinks = k1
a1.channels = c1
# Describe/configure the source
a1.sources.r1.type = netcat
a1.sources.r1.bind = localhost
a1.sources.r1.port = 44444
# Describe the sink
a1.sinks.k1.type = logger
# Use a channel which buffers events in memory
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
执行命令
bin/flume-ng agent -c conf/ -f job/nc-flume-console.conf -n a1
另外开一个窗口执行
nc localhost 44444
在窗口中输入内容，在flume控制台打印说明安装成功
