             Summary: Create a "Config History" context menu entry
                 Key: NIFI-1144
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1144
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core UI
    Affects Versions: 0.3.0
            Reporter: Andrew Grande
            Priority: Trivial


While working with the REST API, I found that quickly accessing the 
configuration history for a specific processor can come very handy.

*Proposal*: right-click context menu for the processor should add a 'Config 
history' item which opens up a Flow History screen with the ID pre-populated in 
a filter.

*Benefits*: quickly review configuration history for a specific component in 
question. Flow History, by default, lists all events for every component, 
additional multiple steps required on the users behalf to filter.

*Notes*: [~mcgilman] mentioned the history was already exposed for each 
individual property, but it's not exactly the same for the following reasons:
# a user doesn't know which property to hover over in the Properties screen to 
see if there were any changes before
# this flow doesn't display the Start and Stop events. The top-level Flow 
History screen does capture and show those.
