These guys are right. The file to look in for the uuid is the nifi-app.log. Also if you wanted to see what the processor itself was doing, you could right click on the processor, get its uuid and while it is running, run (assuming it is on Linux):
tail -F nifi-app.log | grep uuid This will just scroll the logs for that specific processor and will show you what it is doing. It should also tell you specific file names and uuids of the failing files. Hope that helps! Have a great night and good luck!
