Sorry, I actually meant the flow.xml file, not the properties file. Making a global change to this file should be fairly easy using sed or awk within a script. Once the changes are made just gzip it back up again. Having something to within the GUI would be nice, but basically it would be the same thing. You would have to bounce nifi to read the config in again, but shouldn't be an issue in most cases. Instead of bouncing the instance, maybe a refresh function should be implemented along with the search/replace.
This did make me think of whether a checksum or hash of the flow.xml should be created and saved so a check as to whether the file has been altered or replaced can be performed. This check could be performed at startup Ralph Spangler Technical Lead/Sr Solutions Architect L-3 Data Tactics 7901 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 700 McLean, VA 22102 Office: (571) 257-0491 Cell: (321) 212-9552 Fax: (703) 506-6703 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Joe Witt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2015 11:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: mass processor change That is an option too.
