---------------------------------
Summary: Add attributes to track where a flow file came from when
receiving over site-to-site
Key: NIFI-2585
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2585
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Bryan Bende
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.1.0
With MiNiFi starting be used to send data to a central NiFi, it would be
helpful if information about the sending host and port was added to each flow
file received over site-to-site. Currently this information is available and
used to generate the transit URI in the RECEIVE event, but this information
isn't available to downstream processors that might want to make routing
decisions.
For reference:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/e23b2356172e128086585fe2c425523c3628d0e7/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-framework-bundle/nifi-framework/nifi-site-to-site/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/remote/protocol/AbstractFlowFileServerProtocol.java#L452
A possible approach might be to add two attributes to each flow file, something
like "remote.host" and "remote.address" where remote.host has only the sending
hostname, and remote.address has the sending host and port.
