Description

Flume configuration requires that components that are not declared in the active lists (agent.sources, agent.sinks, agent.channels, and agent.sinkgroups) be disabled by default. However, in some cases, sinks that are not in the active list will get initialized and started.

Following configuration can reproduce this scenario:

agent.sources = s
agent.channels = c
#agent.sinks = k1 k2

agent.sources.s.type = netcat
agent.sources.s.port = 12121
agent.sources.s.bind = localhost
agent.sources.s.channels = c

agent.channels.c.type = memory

agent.sinks.k1.type = logger
agent.sinks.k1.channel = c

agent.sinks.k2.type = null
agent.sinks.k2.channel = c
