Yes, this is a reasonable use for Chukwa. You'll have an adaptor per log file. Depending on your particular needs, you can either have a custom log4j appender to set up the Chukwa side or else explicitly configure adaptors on the log files you care about.
You will have to build the search part yourself. Chukwa designed to get stuff into HDFS; the rest is up to you. Of course, if you build something generally usable and contribute it to the project, I'm sure you'd get help with development and maintenance. --Ari On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 10:21 PM, sangeetha <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I wanted to aggregate log4j logs files from different systems and perform > search on the logs. > Is it possible in chukwa?
