The 'ChannelSize' metric will give you the number of events currently in the 
channel. It's one of the main metrics we alert on (well ChannelFillPercentage, 
actually).

Snippet from one of my nodes:

"CHANNEL.fc_WebLogs": {
"EventPutSuccessCount": "1285941800",
"ChannelFillPercentage": "1.8881",
"Type": "CHANNEL",
"EventPutAttemptCount": "1285941800",
"ChannelSize": "18881",
"StopTime": "0",
"StartTime": "1387357632600",
"EventTakeSuccessCount": "1285944090",
"ChannelCapacity": "1000000",
"EventTakeAttemptCount": "1287200957"
},

Hope that helps,
Paul Chavez

Subject: File Channel Contents

Hi

Are there any utils out there that will analyze a file channel and return 
information about it? I've found the blog article here: 
https://blogs.apache.org/flume/entry/apache_flume_filechannel which is very 
useful and seems to suggest that I could whip up some code using FileChannel 
and LogFile classes. However, it seems like this would be something that people 
previously might have had a need for.

While browsing individual events would be nice, even just a reliable count of 
the number of events in the queue would be hugely useful.
Thanks
