Installation

Follow the guide from the heka documentation to build with external plugins.

You also need to include the official aws-sdk-go by adding the following below the goamz clone in cmake/externals.cmake:

git_clone(https://github.com/vaughan0/go-ini a98ad7ee00ec53921f08832bc06ecf7fd600e6a1)
git_clone(https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go 90a21481e4509c85ee68b908c72fe4b024311447)
add_dependencies(aws-sdk-go go-ini)

If you do not need all of the plugins from this repository, you can specify specific ones:

add_external_plugin(git https://github.com/crewton/heka-plugins master kinesis)

kinesis
