添加此文件

/etc/yum.repos.d/flume.repo

使用此内容

[flume]
Name=Packages for flume
baseurl=http://archive.cloudera.com/redhat/cdh/3/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

这将告诉您的yum命令查找安装flume ng的位置
当然，这很简单：

sudo yum install flume-ng

如果添加cloudera cdh apt存储库，则可以从软件包安装flume。看看这本指南。

agent.channels.memoryChannel.type = memory
agent.channels.memoryChannel.capacity = 100

# Define a source on agent and connect to channel memoryChannel.

agent.sources.tail-source.type = exec
agent.sources.tail-source.command = tail -F /opt/hadoop-2.6.0/logs/hadoop-hadoop-datanode-node1.log
agent.sources.tail-source.channels = memoryChannel

# Define a sink that outputs to logger.

agent.sinks.log-sink.channel = memoryChannel
agent.sinks.log-sink.type = logger

agent.sinks.hdfs-sink.channel = memoryChannel
agent.sinks.hdfs-sink.type = hdfs
agent.sinks.hdfs-sink.hdfs.path = hdfs://node1:8020/flumedata/
agent.sinks.hdfs-sink.hdfs.fileType = DataStream

# Activate channel, source and sinks

agent.channels = memoryChannel
agent.sources = tail-source
agent.sinks = log-sink hdfs-sink
Start Flume-ng agent

source ~/.bashrc
