[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-2022) Executing flume agent on the remote
machine
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2022?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13640341#comment-13640341 ]
Israel Ekpo commented on FLUME-2022:
------------------------------------
Hello there,
In the future I would recommend you send questions to the users mailing list instead.
The email address is user@flume.apache.org
You are much more likely to get faster responses and better interactions there
I would recommend to close the JIRA issue and drop the mailing list a line.
If you are not yet subscribed to the list, you can send and email to user-subscribe@flume.apache.org and then reply to the message sent by the automated agent to subscribe.
To answer your original question, from the way Flume agents are currently designed, I don't think you can start them remotely from another machine using the IP. You might be able to use a third party program to remotely invoke the agent on a different computer but that might open you up to additional security vulnerabilities.
There are sources, channels and sinks that are capable of communicating with end points on other nodes but the agent itself can not be started remotely on a separate computer.
