I suddenly see logging like the following going into nidi-bootstrap.log very fast, like 10g/hour, filling up my disk quickly. What is the cause of this? How to stop it going into the log? I tried to look into the logback.xml file and even commented out the logger for org.apache.nifi.StdOut, this did not help at all.
