Michael W Moser commented on NIFI-12230:
----------------------------------------
Recommendation from Apache NiFi #general Slack channel is to change the log
level from WARN to INFO for this message:
[https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/main/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-enrich-bundle/nifi-enrich-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/GeoEnrichIP.java#L139]
"Failure while trying to find enrichment data"
This will remove the bulletin in default configurations of GeoEnrichIP.
> GeoEnrichIP shouldn't produce a message when an IP is not found

> Key: NIFI-12230
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-12230
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Didier B.
> Priority: Major
>
> GeoEnrichIP is a processor that convert an IP (found in the flowfile
> attribute) to a geolocation information that it put in attributes. To do so
> it requires a database file.
> In many environments, it's normal to have IP not found in the database
> (internal IP, unknown IP, and so on). This is an information that concern the
> rest of the workflow if needed.
> The problem here is that for every IP not found, GeoEnrichIP make a log warn
> call which imply that a bulletin is emitted. This bulletin will trigger the
> red box (upper right corner of the processor) up to the root flowgraph,
> warning everyone working on the flowgraph that there is a problem, which is
> not and will also emit a log that will flood the log system.
> *When an IP is not found, routing to failure is enough. No bulletin should be
> emitted. Not finding an IP is normal and can happen several times per second.*
