Aldrin Piri commented on NIFI-820:
----------------------------------
Okay, at first thought I would think connections could generate provenance
events before process groups. The group level doesn't seem as intuitive for me
as they aren't actually providing any other function besides an abstraction of
the processors and/or connections. Would be interested to hear additional
details though. Thanks!

> 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.
