Hi, We have recently started using flume.
We have 20 servers behind a load balancer and want to see if we can avoid running flume node on all of them. We are looking at an option of using the flume log4j appender & avrosource & dedicated flume nodes (machines just running flume) 1. We can use flume log4j appender to stream logs to a dedicated flume node running flume agent/collector. In this case, if the flume node goes down, we would lose the messages. 2. The other option is to flume log4j appender to stream logs on the same machine. In this case we would need an agent on flume node to read the remote server. The avrosource agent doesn't seem to be able to read from remote machine? Is there something else we can do here. Has anyone come across this and do you have any recommendations to handle this. Please let me know. Thanks, Avinash
