Description
Somehow flume node ignores flume.agent.logdir in flume-conf.xml or flume-site.xml. I noticed that the startup script has a line
export FLUME_LOG_DIR=/var/log/flume
This line overrides all the settings. Unless you change this value, the agent log directory is not changed. It basically creates FLUME_LOG_DIR/agent instead of using value of flume.agent.logdir.
