Hello, We have had issues with a few nifi instances recently where the content repository grew too large and we couldn't get nifi to clean it up.
In our current instance of this, we added a second disk to keep nifi from consuming 100% of the available space, and now it is close to consuming all space on both disks. Our nifi.properties looks like this: # Content Repository nifi.content.repository.implementation=org.apache.nifi.controller.repository.FileSystemRepository nifi.content.claim.max.appendable.size=10 MB nifi.content.claim.max.flow.files=100 nifi.content.repository.directory.default=/data/3/nifi_storage/edh-production-ingestion/content_repository nifi.content.repository.directory.content2=/data/5/nifi_storage/edh-production-ingestion/content_repository nifi.content.repository.archive.max.retention.period=1 hours nifi.content.repository.archive.max.usage.percentage=50% nifi.content.repository.archive.enabled=false nifi.content.repository.always.sync=false nifi.content.viewer.url=/nifi-content-viewer/ Each of those content_repository directories are now consuming about 750GB on their disks, which are 1TB. The nifi's queue/size is 53,084 / 3.42 MB but it does process a fairly large amount of data. How do we keep nifi from consuming our entire disks with content repository? We turned off archive enabled in the hope that it would bring the content repository size down to close to 0, but that has not worked for us. Thanks, Alan PS. Sorry for the Friday afternoon email. That's when disks always want to get full.
