In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Apache Flume on Fedora Server Latest. Flume is a distributed log collection and management application that allows users to collect, aggregate, and move large amounts of log data from different sources to a centralized repository.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
Flume requires Java to be installed on the server, so we will start by installing Java using the following command:
sudo dnf install java-latest-openjdk-devel
Verify the installation by running the following command, which should display the Java version:
java -version
Next, we will download and extract the latest version of Apache Flume from the official website. Run the following command to download Flume:
sudo curl -O https://downloads.apache.org/flume/latest/flume-1.9.0-bin.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command:
sudo tar xzf flume-1.9.0-bin.tar.gz
This command will create a new directory named flume-1.9.0 containing all the Flume files.
Before running Flume, we need to configure it by creating a new configuration file. We will use the default configuration file as a template and modify it according to our requirements.
cd flume-1.9.0/conf
sudo cp flume-conf.properties.template flume.conf
sudo vi flume.conf
This command will copy the default configuration file and open it in the vi editor. Modify the file according to your requirements, such as setting the agent name, source, channel, and sink.
We are now ready to start Flume. To start Flume, run the following command from the Flume directory:
sudo bin/flume-ng agent --conf ./conf/ -f conf/flume.conf -n agent_name
This command will start the Flume agent and load the configuration file we created. Replace agent_name with the name of your agent as specified in the configuration file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Apache Flume on your Fedora Server Latest instance. You can now use Flume to collect and manage your log data from various sources.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
