I did inspect the log more closely. It offers little additional insight. Here is what it says (unable to export, had to transcribe myself):
[date] [time],### INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.RunNiFi Status File no longer exists. Will not restart NiFi [date] [time],### INFO [main] o.a.n.b.NotificationServiceManager Successfully loaded the following 0 services: [ ] [date] [time],### INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.RunNiFi Registered no Notification Services for Notification Type NIFI_STARTED [date] [time],### INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.RunNiFi Registered no Notification Services for Notification Type NIFI_STOPPED [date] [time],### INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.RunNiFi Registered no Notification Services for Notification Type NIFI_DIED [date] [time],### INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.Command Apache NiFi is not running My hope is that we can figure out what happens to this status file, and how I can prevent it from nonexistence.
