1.安装flume
下载apache-flume-1.6.0-bin.tar.gz
tar -zxvf apache-flume-1.6.0-bin.tar.gz
mv apache-flume-1.6.0-bin/ /usr/share/apache-flume

2.设置环境变量
cd /usr/share/apache-flume
cp conf/flume-env.sh.template conf/flume-env.sh
vim conf/flume-env.sh，编辑：JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_71

3.一个简单的单source、单sink例子
vim conf/s1k1.conf，编辑：
# s1k1.conf: A single-source and single-sink configuration

# Name the components on this agent
a1.sources = r1
a1.sinks = k1
a1.channels = c1

# Describe/configure the source
a1.sources.r1.type = netcat
a1.sources.r1.bind = localhost
a1.sources.r1.port = 44444

# Describe the sink
a1.sinks.k1.type = logger

# Use a channel which buffers events in memory
a1.channels.c1.type = memory
a1.channels.c1.capacity = 1000
a1.channels.c1.transactionCapacity = 100

# Bind the source and sink to the channel
a1.sources.r1.channels = c1
a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1

4.测试
bin/flume-ng agent --conf conf --conf-file conf/s1k1.conf --name a1 -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console
另开一个窗口，telnet 127.0.0.1 44444，在第一个窗口会有回显
