Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1205:
-----------------------------------
Randy i think the pattern you seek will be better handled when ListFile and
FetchFile are ready to roll. Work for them is underway here
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-631
Take a look and if you agree we can close this ticket out.
Thanks

> Allow GetFile's "File Filter" property to support expression language
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-1205
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1205
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Randy Gelhausen
> Priority: Minor
>
> GetFile is useful as a scheduled processor, but currently assumes
> foreknowledge of which files the user desires to match.
> There may be external signals, e.g. a process crash, that users desire to
> trigger GetFile to pickup and do work on artifacts specific to the trigger.
> Adding expression language support for the File Filter property would allow
> incoming flowfiles to point the processor at different files of interest.
