Paul Grey updated NIFI-5556: ---------------------------- Description: Recently I have been performing remote JVM debugging on a number of NiFi components -- core instances, etc. Currently, to enable/disable JVM debugging requires manually modifying the {{bootstrap.conf}} file or the {{*.sh}} file and (un)commenting/adding the following line(s): *bootstrap.conf* {code} java.arg.debug=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 {code} I propose we decide on a standard command-line flag or environment variable which can be set to enable/disable JVM debugging (and optional flag/variable to enable/disable *suspend*) in order to make this easier for developers. My suggestion is to follow a pattern like Kafka uses, as proposed in [this StackOverflow answer|https://stackoverflow.com/a/52021140/70465]. This can be copied to NiFi Registry, MiNiFi Java, etc. was: Recently I have been performing remote JVM debugging on a number of NiFi components -- core instances, TLS toolkit, etc. Currently, to enable/disable JVM debugging requires manually modifying the {{bootstrap.conf}} file or the {{*.sh}} file and (un)commenting/adding the following line(s): *bootstrap.conf* {code} java.arg.debug=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 {code} *tls-toolkit.sh* {code} # exec "${JAVA}" -cp "${CLASSPATH}" ${JAVA_OPTS:--Xms12m -Xmx24m} org.apache.nifi.toolkit.tls.TlsToolkitMain "$@" exec "${JAVA}" -cp "${CLASSPATH}" ${JAVA_OPTS:--Xms12m -Xmx24m} -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 org.apache.nifi.toolkit.tls.TlsToolkitMain "$@" {code} I propose we decide on a standard command-line flag or environment variable which can be set to enable/disable JVM debugging (and optional flag/variable to enable/disable *suspend*) in order to make this easier for developers.
