[jira] [Commented] (AMBARI-9421) truncate path string after '=' in flume.conf when sync from ambari server

["Colman Madden (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-9421?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14901968#comment-14901968 ] 

Colman Madden commented on AMBARI-9421:
---------------------------------------

We were having the same issue so we came up with a work around to get us by until the fix is released
In Ambari edit the flume-env.sh file (one gets created for every agent and it gets run every time before it starts the agent)

1) Build the flume config with a token such as '&eq&' where you want the '=' character
2) Edit the flume_env.sh file in Ambari to do the replace with the below two lines.

echo fixing flume.conf replacing '&eq&' with '=' in file ${BASH_ARGV[3]}
sed -i 's/&eq&/=/g' ${BASH_ARGV[3]}

Note: BASH_ARGV[3] gives you the full file path for the flume conf file

Works really well!!
