Hi,
I'm using a NiFi instance hosted on google cloud for about 3 months and initially, it was running smoothly. I have mounted *database_repository*, *provinance_repository*, *flowfile_repository* and *content_repository* directories to a persistent disk because I need the flow files to be persistent whenever the VM is redeployed. I redeployed the VM several times when those directories are being mounted. Past few days I saw the message "*The rate of the dataflow is exceeding the provenance recording rate. slowing down flow to accommodate*." in nifi UI. So that I cleaned up all those mounted directories and redeployed a fresh nifi. Now it is running smoothly again. But cleaning up those directories, in the long run, is going to be a problem for us. Any possible solution is available for this? Any help is appreciated. -- *Thanks,* Asanka Sanjaya Herath Software Engineer | Zone24x7
