--------------------------------------
Summary: Better template creation controls
Key: NIFI-1293
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1293
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Joseph Percivall
Priority: Minor
When creating a template you select everything on the graph you want to include
or don't select anything and the system automatically selects everything.
This causes two problems, for controller services like
DistributedMapCacheServer and all reporting tasks, there are no processors that
reference them so therefore it's impossible (barring manual xml creation) to
include them in a template. The second problem arose when I was working on
improving a template then needed to switch tasks. So I created a new version of
the template then destroyed my NiFi instance and rebuilt. Unfortunately I
accidentally had one processor selected when creating the template and that one
processor was all that was included.
So it would be very nice to have a fleshed out UI window for template creation
that includes being able to specifically select controller services and
reporting tasks. As well as give an overview of the template before creation
(count of processors, types, etc.).
