----------------------------------
Summary: Improve configuration of Nifi
Key: NIFI-7004
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7004
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration, Configuration Management
Affects Versions: 1.10.0
Reporter: Sushil Kumar
There are 2 configuration files which provides nifi for a lot of config values.
bootstrap.conf
nifi.properties
The nifi system does not provides an easy way to override the values in these
config files.
Generally the applications are designed in a way to override or use configs
from environment values and config-files
It may be that this was not such a big problem when running Nifi on baremetals
and managing a machine as an independent machine. However, when one thinks of
automating or scripting these operator functions of start/shutdown nodes,
add/remove nodes, change configuration values, then it becomes difficult for an
operator to manage files on all nodes.
I am looking ahead to Nifi to add some way to read these values from
environment variables or config-files.
