Time for action – writing to multiple sinks

We need one final piece of capability to build such networks, namely, an agent that can write to multiple sinks. Let's create one.

1. Create the following configuration file as agent7.conf:

   agent7.sources = netsource
   agent7.sinks = hdfssink filesink
   agent7.channels = memorychannel1 memorychannel2
   
   agent7.sources.netsource.type = netcat
   agent7.sources.netsource.bind = localhost
   agent7.sources.netsource.port = 3000
   agent7.sources.netsource.interceptors = ts
   
   agent7.sources.netsource.interceptors.ts.type = org.apache.flume.interceptor.TimestampInterceptor$Builder
   
   agent7.sinks.hdfssink.type = hdfs
   agent7.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.path = /flume-%Y-%m-%d
   agent7.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.filePrefix = log
   agent7.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.rollInterval = 0
   agent7.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.rollCount = 3
   agent7.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
   
   agent7.sinks.filesink.type = FILE_ROLL
   agent7.sinks.filesink.sink.directory = /home/hadoop/flume/files
   agent7.sinks.filesink.sink.rollInterval...
