Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-2115:
-----------------------------------
[~jameswing] I think this is a great idea. Couple of questions/comments to
think about.
* We need to take into account what should be rendered when what we're looking
at is a cluster of nodes. They could be heterogenous in terms of Java version,
OS version, NiFi version, build version, and such. I think we would need to
factor those things in and what we want to render when there are differences.
* How would this work as far as gathering build information for the source
release? Those maven properties would need to be populated with their values
(not variables) when we make the source release I assume so that the
convenience binaries produced would have the proper info I think.
Also, please consider removing the fix version for now until this approaches
being merge-able. It makes closing down on releases like 1.0 easier.
[~rmoran] Could you help with providing a sketch of what this could look like?
> Enhanced About Box Version Information
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-2115
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2115
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core UI, Tools and Build
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: James Wing
> Assignee: James Wing
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> The UI's About dialog and underlying API provide the version of NiFi, like
> "0.7.0-SNAPSHOT". For many bug reports and troubleshooting requests, this is
> not very precise, especially around rapidly changing code or
> platform-dependent behavior. It would help if NiFi captured and displayed
> additional information:
> * NiFi build commit hash
> * NiFi build branch
> * NiFi build date/time
> * Java Version
> * Java Vendor (Oracle, OpenJDK)
> * OS
> Then a simple copy/paste from the about box would provide very specific
> information about a particular NiFi installation and which code it was
> derived from.
