Hi, in my former job: productive, Germany, Web portal. Throughput 600 mb/minute. Logfiles from Windows IIS, Apache. Used in a usual way, no own decorators or sinks. Simply syslog -> bucketing (1 minute rollover) -> hdfs splitted into minutes (YYYYMMDDHHMM).
Stable, some issues (you'll found on the mailing list), but works well if you know what is to do when anything will happen. Btw, NG 1.1.0 is more stable as flume pre 1.x and runs in some productive environments. - Alex -- Alexander Lorenz http://mapredit.blogspot.com On Apr 21, 2012, at 12:14 AM, Karl Hennig wrote: > I am investigating automated methods of moving our data from the web tier > into HDFS for processing, a process that's performed periodically. > > I am looking for feedback from anyone who has actually used Flume in a > production setup (redundant, failover) successfully.
