说明：本来研究开源日志的系统是flume，后来发现配置比较麻烦，网上搜索到fluentd也是开源的日志收集系统，配置简单多了，性能不错，所以就改研究这个东东了！官方主页，大家可以看看：fluentd.org，支持300+的plugins，应该是不错的！
fluentd是通过hadoop中的webHDFS与HDFS进行通信的，所以在配置fluentd时，一定要保证webHDFS能正常通信，和通过webHDFS写数据到hdfs中！
原理图如下：
![wKiom1SAB_PCQmAmAADSV4dSD3E785.jpg]( "http-to-hdfs.png")
webHDFS的相关配置与测试，请看这篇文章：http://shineforever.blog.51cto.com/1429204/1585942
安装环境大致说明：
1）fluentd和hadoop中的namenode要安装到一台物理机器上；
2）os版本：rhel 5.7 64位
3）hadoop版本：1.2.1
4）jdk1.7.0_67
5）ruby版本：ruby 2.1.2p95
1.安装前的准备工作，安装ruby，因为fluentd是ruby开发的：
yum install openssl-devel zlib-devel gcc gcc-c++ make autoconf readline-devel curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel
卸载系统自带ruby版本：
yum erase ruby ruby-libs ruby-mode ruby-rdoc ruby-irb ruby-ri ruby-docs
通过源码安装ruby：
wget -c http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.1/ruby-2.1.2.tar.gz
然后解压包，编译，把ruby安装到目录 /usr/local/ruby即可，然后设置profile环境变量。
测试ruby：
[root@node1 install]# ruby -v
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-linux]
出现以上字段，代表ruby安装成功。
2.fluentd安装：
fluentd有源码安装，gem安装或者rpm方式安装三种方式；
本文采用rpm的安装方式官方文档已经帮我们写好了脚本,直接执行就行了：
curl -L http://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/sh/install-redhat-td-agent2.sh | sh
安装成功以后，启动脚本是：/etc/init.d/td-agent start
配置文件路径是：/etc/td-agent/
[root@node1 install]# cd /etc/td-agent/
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@node1 td-agent]# pwd
/etc/td-agent
[root@node1 td-agent]# ls
logrotate.d plugin prelink.conf.d td-agent.conf
3.利用gem安装fluentd插件fluent-plugin-webhdfs
1）由于国内防火墙block了ruby源，请更换gem的源：
[root@node1 bin]# td-agent-gem source --remove https://ruby.taobao.org/
https://ruby.taobao.org/ removed from sources
[root@node1 bin]# td-agent-gem source -a https://ruby.taobao.org/
https://ruby.taobao.org/ added to sources
2）安装插件：
td-agent-gem install fluent-plugin-webhdfs
查看gem的安装列表：
td-agent-gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
bigdecimal (1.2.4)
bundler (1.7.7)
cool.io (1.2.4)
fluent-mixin-config-placeholders (0.3.0)

tzinfo-data (1.2014.10)
uuidtools (2.1.5)
webhdfs (0.6.0)
yajl-ruby (1.2.1)
4）配置flunetd，加载fluent-plugin-webhdfs 模块；
加入以下字段：
vim /etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf
|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
|
<match hdfs.*.*>
type
webhdfs
host node1.
test
.com
port 50070
path
/log/
%Y%m%d_%H
/access
.log.${
hostname
}
flush_interval 1s
<
/match
>
|
重启td-agent服务；
5）设置hdfs相关配置：
创建log目录
hadoop fs -mkdir /log
赋予log目录权限为777，如果不赋予，数据写不进去，官方文档没有说明，测试了好久才发现！
hadoop fs -chmod 777 /log
6）再次重启td-agent服务，开始测试，测试命令如下：
curl -X POST -d 'json={"json":"message"}' http://172.16.41.151:8888/hdfs.access.test
这时就发现hadoop里面文件有变化了！

安装配置过程中的报错：

出现以上情况，是你的hdfs文件系统有问题，不能写数据等等，请单独测试hdfs的是否运行正常！

出现以上情况，一般是你的hdfs没有设置好权限，把存放日志的hdfs目录chmod 777，就可以了！
如果日志写入hdfs正常，日志显示的是：2014-12-04 14:48:40 +0800 [warn]: retry succeeded. instance=23456251808060
