If Flume is not starting, it could be because
flumeservice.xml
is missing.
To fix this, Navigate to %FLUME_HOME%\bin
and locate the
flumeagent.xml
file. If the file does not exist, locate
flumeservice.xml
file and rename it to
flumeagent.xml
.
After the file is renamed, go to Windows Services and restart the Flume agent service.
