Hi Idioma, There are two different ways that I can recommend you verify this. The first is to right-click on a connection and then choose "List Queue". From here, you can see the FlowFiles that are queued up in the connection. You can then click the 'info' icon on the left to see the attributes and content of the FlowFile, so you can download the content and inspect it.
Secondly, and more importantly, is NiFi's notion of Data Provenance. The User Guide explains how to use this feature [1]. As data traverses through NiFi, every event that happens to every piece of data is recorded in the Provenance Repository. This allows you to see exactly what happened to each piece of data as it flows through your system, and this can be used (among many other things) to debug workflows. It will allow you to see the attributes as well as the content at every step along the way, so that you can understand exactly how the data looked at every step along the way and replay the data at any step along the way if it wasn't handled correctly. Does all of this make sense and give you what you need? Let us know if you have any further questions!
