Mark Payne commented on NIFI-820:
---------------------------------
[~aldrin] a possible alternative: since the search capability is already
present on the graph and it provides more context by allowing you to jump to
the component itself, does it make more sense to add something to the context
menu, so that you can right-click on a processor and click "Provenance" (or
something better named?) and have it automatically issue a provenance query for
that component?
> Provide improved provenance search functions for a component ID

> Reporter: Aldrin Piri
> Priority: Minor

> In terms of making provenance more accessible, it would be nice to have a
> provenance search via the processor context menu which auto populates the
> provenance with the processor ID. Typically when I want evaluate how a
> processor is behaving, I have to select configure, copy ID, hit provenance,
> paste the component ID.
> In a related fashion, providing the functionality of the search of main
> workflow in the component ID field of the provenance dialog to discover
> component ID could also prove to be useful.
> Not sure which of these makes sense, is feasible, or is actually an improved
> user experience, but each feels like it could expedite the process.
