> @exceptionfactory @joewitt > > I have added one more change, which will allow users to set amqp processor's password via env variables. I think this will be helpful in cases where we use AMQP processors in multiple NiFI instances. Instead of copying and pasting different passwords in processor properties, we can reference the env variable via its name. Let me know your thoughts on it. Thanks. Thanks for calling out this particular change @umarhussain15. Given the scope of the current pull request, I recommend considering that change separately. In general, sensitive properties such as passwords do not support reading from environment variables. The reason is that environment variables are also accessible through Expression Language, so they are not necessarily secure. The use case is still supported through Parameter Contexts and Parameter Providers, where the Environment Variable Parameter Provider can be used. This is an additional layer of indirection, but it follows the general convention for other sensitive properties. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
