Andrew Lim commented on NIFI-2449:
----------------------------------
Trimming Getting Started content to make it more of a brief intro to custom
properties. Admin Guide will contain info about creation and configuration.
NIFI-2556 will cover info needed from a user's perspective.
Getting Started:
Custom Properties within Expression Language
In addition to using FlowFile attributes, you can also define custom properties
for Expression Language use. Defining custom properties gives you additional
flexibility in processing and configuring dataflows. For example, you can
refer to custom properties for connection, server, and service properties.
Once you have created custom properties, you can identify their location in the
nifi.variable.registry.properties field in the nifi.properties file. After you
have updated the nifi.properties file and restarted NiFi, you are able to use
custom properties as needed.
Admin Guide:
Custom Properties
To configure custom properties for use with NiFi’s Expression Language:
-Create the custom property. Ensure that:
--Each custom property contains a distinct property value, so that it is not
overridden by existing environment properties, system properties, or FlowFile
attributes.
--Each node in a clustered environment is configured with the same custom
properties.
-Update the nifi.properties file with the location of the custom property files.
Property Description
nifi.variable.registry.properties This is a comma-separated list of
location paths for one or more custom property files.
