Aldrin Piri commented on MINIFI-119:
------------------------------------
Yes, I believe that to be the case. Had reviewed the AppendHostInfo which was
seen as a way of doing this in a more generic way.
> Append source.hostname attribute to FlowFiles sent via Site2Site

> Key: MINIFI-119
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-119
> Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++, Core Framework
> Reporter: Randy Gelhausen
>
> NiFi data consumers commonly need to know the original source (hostname) of
> flowfiles.
> NiFi collectors may create a unique input port per Site2Site client, but this
> in unmanageable with more than a trivial number of clients.
> Clients can manually inject source metadata as part of their flow
> definitions, but this is a burden that can be automated given that hostname
> is standard metadata. The Site2Site protocol implementation should
> automatically inject local hostname into FlowFiles.
