Mark Payne edited comment on NIFI-488 at 6/8/15 6:22 PM: --------------------------------------------------------- New patch will cause NiFi to run in the background, monitoring NiFi and if NiFi dies will automatically restart. This is done mostly because we want to run in the background and when anything is written to NiFi's StdOut or StdErr it will get logged. With this new patch, we are also pulling logback/slf4j into the bootstrap so that we can configure the bootstrap's logging as well as NiFi's StdOut & StdErr. The old approach was to just redirect NiFi's StdOut and StdErr to a file. This was bad because it didn't allow for rolling of the files or keeping only a certain amount of data. was (Author: markap14): New patch will cause NiFi to run in the background, monitoring NiFi and if NiFi does will automatically restart.
