Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> SyslogReader should not throw Exceptions on empty/blank lines
> -------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: NIFI-10767
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10767
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Mark Payne
> Assignee: Mark Payne
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.19.0

> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> If the SyslogReader encounters an empty line, it throws an Exception:
> {code:java}
> if (StringUtils.isBlank(line)) {
> // while an empty string is an error
> throw new MalformedRecordException("Encountered a blank message!");
> } {code}
> Often flows are built that use MergeContent or split data apart, etc. that
> can result in inadvertently including an empty line between messages. There's
> no need to throw an Exception in this case. Instead, we should simply skip
> over the empty line. Perhaps a debug log should be emitted but not an
> Exception.
