Friends,
I find the new (well, since 0.7.x -> 1.x) way of associating controller
services based on the process group a bit disorienting. When one follows
the right arrow from a consuming processor and lands on the Process
Group Configurationpage where the services are configured, one is
obliged to click on the Generaltab to figure out whether the controller
service is at the root (the case for services whose flows were upgraded
from the 0.7.x world) or for a specific process group (the case for
configuration accomplished post-upgrade/native 1.x).
I realize that this will be a dwindling problem, but there's enough
white space in this dialog to justify putting the Process Group Name to
the right of the dialog title (Process Group Configuration) while on the
Controller Servicestab, even without the momentary confusion of origin
(that is, a flow from 0.7.x vs. a "native" 1.x flow). So, I consider
that this enhancement holds regardless of whether upgraded flows are
present or not.
At the same time, I'm tempted to ask how, when looking on the Controller
Services tab/page, one figures out which processor instance(s) is (are)
consuming a particular controller service I'm looking at?
