Hi, Based on my use and understanding that setting "fileSuffix" is simpy the extension to the file to be added once the file was consumed and placed onto the channel. I don't think it was intended to be used to indicate a completely uploaded file. In the dev newsgroup there was a discussion about having the spooler "wait" for a little while before ingesting the file. An ignore pattern may also be a good idea.
Currently I am using an upload directory that I monitor and when lsof reports a file is not in use/open I then move it to my spool directory.

However, files with no suffix are also appended to the channel and then processed by the sink. My configuration: tier1.sources = s1 tier1.channels = c1 tier1.sinks = s1 # For each source, channel, and sink, set # standard properties. tier1.sources.s1.type = spooldir tier1.sources.s1.spoolDir = /home/user/flume/data tier1.sources.s1.deletePolicy = immediate tier1.sources.s1.batchSize = 1000 tier1.sources.s1.bufferMaxLines = 3000 tier1.sources.s1.fileHeader = true tier1.sources.s1.fileSuffix=.COMPLETED Is that ok?
