Troubleshooting

Handling agent failures

If the Flume agent goes down, then the all the flows hosted on that agent areaborted. Once the agent is restarted, then flow will resume. The flow usingfile channel or other stable channel will resume processing events where it leftoff. If the agent can’t be restarted on the same hardware, then there is an option tomigrate the database to another hardware and setup a new Flume agent thatcan resume processing the events saved in the db. The database HA futurescan be leveraged to move the Flume agent to another host.
