Hi Jason,
This isn't explicitly documented anywhere, however the locations of all the key
paths for Nifi can be found in the documentation in general. Hopefully a
combination of this email thread and official documentation should be enough
for your client to give the AV exemptions you need.
Getting information added to the documentation is simple in one aspect as
ticket just has to be raised on the ASF Nifi JIRA. However, given that large
elements of Nifi are configurable via plugins it would be difficult to give
definitive advise, as different plugins will have different AV requirements.
In the meantime I have created
NIFI-6553<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6553> to look at improving
the documentation around this as we are missing other bits of information like
SELinux configuration that I think would also be useful to have in the
documentation

The work dir gets created at startup and possible as new nars are loaded. I
think you'd be ok to scan this.
The flowfile and content repository and provenance directories as configured
should be skipped. The logs dir should be skipped. The state directory should
be skipped. All else I believe would be fair game.
Thanks

What is the recommended anti virus scanning exclusions from active scans. Can
not find anything in the documents. Need to make sure my linux redhat scans do
not compromise the flow files or anything else.
Thank you,
