Panos, I'm not sure what version of NiFi you're using but in 1.1.1 another issue [1] was addressed that may be what you're seeing now. If you're still on 1.0.0 or 1.1.0 maybe try upgrading to 1.1.1. Matt [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3173 On Fri, Jan 13, 2017 at 1:51 PM, Panos

Having just checked the idea in my PS, it doesn't seem to work as the transferred controller services are at a process group level and hence are "compartmentalised" after the migration... Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated. Many thanks, Panos

Hello Matt, Thanks for your reply. I fully get that, but my requirement is in addition to this. The (top) controller service is being referenced by multiple processors in my template, which however belong in different sub process groups. When I import this template in another NiFi instance

Hello Oleg, Many thanks for your reply! I remembered having diff'ed NiFi templates in the past and that was a bit messy. However, this was certainly before NiFi 1.0, so from a quick look it appears that things are better now in that regard. Thanks for the hint! However, the situation with

Alessio, As Bryan mentioned, we do allow for Reporting Tasks to report these sorts of metrics and bulletins to other systems. One thing that I wanted to note, though, is that you can right-click on a Processor and view Status History. This will show you the metrics that the processor shows

Panos, The current behavior is that Controller Services are only included if they are referenced by a component in the template. While this was initially by designed, we have received comments about it from folks looking to export their entire configuration. There is an outstanding JIRA [1] to

Hello, Generally NiFi is not meant to be a long term store of this type of information. There is an extension point called a ReportingTask which has access to the metrics seen in the UI, as well as the bulletin repository which are the error messages. You could implement a custom ReportingTask to

Panos What version of NiFi are you using? The issue with the NiFi templates diffs has actually been addressed (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-826). So as of NiFi 1.0 you can export templates in a deterministic way and then execute diff on them to see only what was changed. It

Alessio, There is currently no way to lock the canvas. If the current user has permissions to modify a given component it will be modifiable if the component is in a valid state for the request action. For instance, if the component is scheduled to execute it cannot be deleted. There has been
