Am running NiFi 0.7.x. Have been running with great stability for a long period of time. Tried this morning to make this change in my nifi.properties conf file:
nifi.content.repository.archive.max.retention.period=1 hour Reduced from the default of 12 hours. Relatively simple change, requires a nifi restart to take effect. My restart attempt throws no errors to the nifi app log, but in the bootstrap log I do see this: org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.RunNiFi Status file no longer exists. Will not restart NiFi I've done some digging and all I could find is rebooting the box in hopes of resolving. Am reaching out to the infrastructure group that owns the server now, asking them to do so. Would like to also in parallel understand why this happened, and where, exactly, this status file should be? Can I resolve this by manually recreating such a status file with certain permissions and ownership? Thanks in advance for your help. -Jim
