I installed Flume 1.4.0-cdh4.7.0 in CentOS (cloudera VM)

I ran the following command to start the flume

flume-ng agent -n agent-name -c conf -f conf/flume.conf -Dflume.root.looger=DEBUG,console

but it is only writing the default (INFO) level to the console. Cannot figure out why?

There is a typo in your command line:

flume-ng agent -n agent-name -c conf -f conf/flume.conf -Dflume.root.looger=DEBUG,console

It says root.looger in stead of root.logger and so your command line option is overridden by something in the log4j.propeties file
