Uwe Geercken commented on NIFI-3607: ------------------------------------ Sorry for being short worded... I create small and simple json files from shell scripts in a central folder. They are used for monitoring some processes. They contain just a few bytes of data. I have configured the processor for multiple files, given a reg expression (monitoring_.*.json), and provided the base directory. I start the processor and there are a few json files in the folder and the TailFile picks them up correctly. But then over time more json files are created. These new files don't get picked up unless I stop and start the TailFile processor. But when I do, they get correctly picked up. > TailFile does not notice new files in folder > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-3607 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3607 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Extensions > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Environment: Fedora 25 > Reporter: Uwe Geercken > Priority: Critical > > I have configured the TailFile processor to read multiple (small) files from > a folder. > This works, but if more files are created in the folder, the processor does > not pick them up, even though the "Lookup frequency" is set (10 minutes). > If I stop and start the processor, it correctly picks up the new files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
