The parser option is great for those willing to copy the files around and
accept the idea of the greater latency.
For the "listener", what do you think about the following option:
A - (host runs windows) - Windows API + JNA when running windows [1]
B - (host runs Unix derivative) - Implement sink using openwsman java bindings
This way the solution would be reasonably platform agnostic (restricted just by
the systems compatible with openwsman), instead of requiring NiFi to run on
windows. Also worth of notice, as far as I know, no other data pipeline
platform has implemented option B yet, so that would be a great plus to NiFi.
The Openwsman project has put together a basic Windows event sink here:
https://github.com/Openwsman/wseventsink
And closely documented the inner workings of the event subscription model.

[1] Openwsman should also compile under windows but the deployments seems more
intensive than most people would prefer

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Andre
>
> While a lot of the use cases using NiFi orbit the IoT, Unix Cloud type
> workloads, I suspect NiFi would be a great fit for data collections of
> business critical platforms running Windows.
> A good example of this type of workload would be ATMs running Windows 7 and
> even run Windows XP, or collection of Event Log error events on Windows
> platforms (including Azure).
