Mike Thomsen commented on NIFI-16267:
-------------------------------------
[~exceptionfactory] I've been working on an AI-assisted project to try to build
a tool that can wrap stateless NiFi for the purpose of creating an integration
test runner harness for stateless NiFi. In doing that, I discovered that
stateless NiFi doesn't appear to have any hooks where a tool can
programmatically build a stateless NiFi configuration and hook into its error
handling and counter tracking so that it can do things like track which
processor failed and why nor count counters (or even monitor failure ports).
This is where that idea started, and locally it's evolving beyond the scope of
this ticket. So if I were to propose a NIP it would be now more as an
observability update to help external tooling have a clear public API to hook
into stateless NiFi so that stateless NiFi would not be dependent on its own
flow to know if something succeeded or failed (and why).

> While doing some experimentation with stateless NiFi as a potential way to do
> integration tests on NiFi flows in Jenkins, I found that there appears to be
> no way to enable external tooling to hook into stateless NiFi to capture
> component failures. I am proposing a modest listener style plugin that can be
> programmatically added by tools that embed or launch stateless NiFi.
