Thanks, Andrew. That's a good point that I had missed. I knew some
indication of troubles reached the triangle icon on the processor's
representation, but confess I had not realized there was a documented
threshold. This will work fine (though I'll bet our guys would like the
more carnival atmosphere).

P.S. I hope my attempt at humor didn't offend.

I think the team was going for a toned down style anyway. One way to draw a
user's attention, which is available today already, is to use a standard
log statement with proper level. This will issue a bulletin both on the
processor (and visually indicate a note) as well as add it to a global list
of bulletins. By default processors ignore anything lower than WARN, but
this is adjustable in processor settings.

In pursuit of yet more wacky functionality, I wondered about a good way
to get a NiFi user's attention (yeah, the person standing looking at the
UI) when some condition, threshold, etc. is met as detected by a custom
processor. In view of the season, is it possible to turn the processor
representation flashing green or red?
Okay, seriously, I guess I could just throw ProcessExceptionor
discretely (sniff) drop something into the log. (Do any better ideas
comes to mind?)
If NiFi is to gain greater public recognition and popularity, we need to
consider how to attract Hollywood through cool visual effects. I'm
anticipating seeing Tom Cruise looking at NiFi on-screen during a tense
moment in MI-6!

Thanks,
