停止 Flume 代理

Question

I have a requirement where I want to run Flume agent with spooling directory as source. After all the files from the spool directory is copied to HDFS(sink) I want the agent to stop as I know all the files are pushed to channel. Also I want to run this steps for different spooling directories each time and stop the agent when all files from the directory are marked as .COMPLETED. Is there any way to stop the flume agent?

Answer 1

For now I could suggest that on running flume agent you open the flume agent terminal. Then on this terminal execute ctrl+c and agent is gone.

Answer 2

2 ways to stop the Flume agent:

1. Go to the terminal where Flume agent is running and press ctrl+C to forcefully kill the agent
2. Run jps from any terminal and look for 'Application' process. Note down its process id and then run kill -9 to terminate the process

Answer 3

Open another duplicate session window , then use below command .

ps –ef | grep flume

take out the process_id, and use below command to kill

kill -9 process_id

This worked for me.
